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 Chocolate Calculator ------------- Stockmarket is a weird place. For every person who buys a stock there is a person who sells it and both think they are very smart. |

here's the trick: Assume your initial number to be x.The equation that is formed after doing all the operations is always 100x + 2009 - (your age) = the final number So no matter what number you choose the units and ten's digit will give ur age. ------------- Take your chances and keep them in a box until a quieter time. |

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?------------- Stockmarket is a weird place. For every person who buys a stock there is a person who sells it and both think they are very smart. |

Over the past 18 months it has been the psychology that mattered the most but surely psychology will follow the arithmetic unless you have anything to lose how can you get worried?But my tag line has different thoughts on mathematicians!
