A little mind teaser of sorts

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate. (try for more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold)

3. Add 5. (for Sunday)

4. Multiply it by 50, I'll wait while you get the calculator...............

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1754.... If you haven't, add 1753 .......

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number ....

The first digit of this was your original number(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).

The next two numbers are ........YOUR AGE! ~ ( Oh YES, it IS!!!!! )

hmm....worked for me. The only problem I have with it is the line "This is the only year this will work so spread it around". That's the kind of stuff I get in junk mail from people wanting me to forward their puppy-dog kisses on to other people.

I'm going to try it next year just to prove you wrong!

You know I did actually pay any attention to the end part, I just copied it from an email that my fiance sent me. If you follow the same directions a year from now you will end up with the same number that you got now. The only thing that makes a difference is step 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1754.... If you haven't, add 1753. If you were to act as if it was a year later add 1 to 1754 and 1753 to get 1755 and 1754. If you were to substitiute these numbers next year, you will get the correct response. But if you don't change these numbers it will be wrong. Now that I think of it this is stupid, you can lock this thread if you want or leave it for bashing for wasting everyones time

hahaha, no it's not bash-worthy...it's a neat little trick...I was just saying it had the "chain-mail" feel to it and I hate those things.
