My mom emailed this my way. Play the game, then one of you math whiz types chime in and tell us how it’s done.<\/p>\n

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH<\/p>\n

Don’t tell me your age; you’d probably lie anyway-but the Hershey Man will know!<\/p>\n

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH<\/p>\n

This is pretty neat.<\/p>\n

DON’T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!<\/p>\n

It takes less than a minute .
\nWork this out as you read .
\nBe sure you don’t read the bottom until you’ve worked it out!
\nThis is not one of those waste of time things, it’s fun.<\/p>\n

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)<\/p>\n

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)<\/p>\n

3. Add 5<\/p>\n

4. Multiply it by 50 — I’ll wait while you get the calculator<\/p>\n

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1760 .\u00a0 If you haven’t, add 1759.<\/p>\n

6.. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.<\/p>\n

You should have a three digit number.

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

The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)<\/p>\n

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2010) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
