Don't tell me your age; you'd probably lie anyway-but the Hershey Man will know!

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read .
Don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!

1. Pick the number of times a week you'd like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)


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

3. Add 5

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

5. If you already had your birthday this year add 1759 ...
If you haven't, add 1758.

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!!)


2009 IS THE ONLY YEAR IT WILL WORK

I wish I had paid a little more attention in my algebra classes!

Having poor algebra is no problem with making money in the market. It is the arithmetic that matters. You need that to calculate the profits made out of the many multibaggers you made. Isn't it Basantjee?
