This isn't funny, just interesting. See if it works for you.CHOCOLATE MATHEMATICS

This is pretty neat how it works out. This is cool chocolate math!!!!!!! DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute....... Work this out as you read. Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!

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
1752.... If you haven't, add 1751 ..........
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!

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2002) IT WILL EVER WORK.

It worked for me, but since I'm not a 'brain' I don't know how it works. Have fun.

Reena beena,

Oooh that was tooo weeeeird man! Awesome though! Thanks for that! Take care hon!

Doylie wog

I don't know how also but it came out correct.That was very interesting.Perhaps there is a mathematician in the house to explain? Thank you Reena. Take care.

Reena, yep, it worked for me too! pretty wild! Okay, I don't have the energy to try to figure out how it works. Anyone else know? Anyone? Beuller? Beuller? (I think I spelled that wrong, it is after midnight!, hmm and I wonder if anyone will get it? )

I would have no idea where to even start to figure out how that worked. It is 330 am for crying out loud!!

Hmm, Ferris Beuller, haven't seen that in ages.

Anyway, I'm not like some super math whiz, but I think the whole thing revolves around the 1751 - 1752. This will work in any year, just change the numbers. e.g.: next year use 1752-1753, the year after use 1753-1754 and so in, it would work indefinately.

Have fun,

Steve, hey someone else remembers that movie - it is one of my favorites - great to watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon!

Wow, and I must give you bonus points for trying to figure that out at 4am or so in the morning! I just couldn't even bring myself to try. Zoe

Speakin' of chocolate - anyone seen the lastest news?

MEDICAL UPDATE: Chocolate is a Vegetable!!

Chocolate is derived from cocoa beans.

Bean = vegetable.

Sugar is derived from either sugar cane or sugar BEETS.

Both of them are plants, in the vegetable category.

Thus, chocolate is a vegetable.

To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk,which is dairy. So candy bars are a health food.

Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

Remember: "STRESSED" spelled backward is "DESSERTS"

Send this to four women or men and you will lose 2 pounds.

Send this to all the women you know (or ever knew), and you will lose 10 pounds.

(If you delete this message, you will gain 10 pounds immediately.)

"That's why I had to pass this on - - - - - I didn't want to risk it."

HAHAHAHA

There's that milk is healthy thing again.


HAHAHAHAHA

weird...worked for me too...that bends my brain...

I just want to know who figures these things out. What kind of lifestyle do they lead? what can I learn from them? :0) Carolyn

I'm assuming they have a LOT of time on their hands. Maybe we should keep our brains busy with math instead of worry. lol.

Well, I know I have alot of time being I tried to figure out how it worked at 4:46 in the morning.

Steve

That was very cool!! Yeah, where do people come up with these kinds of things?!
I like Donna's post....chocolate being a vegetable! Now, that I could definitely deal with, I'm a chocoholic!! I also live 10 miles from Hershey and I take my kids to Chocolate World on their tour to see how Hershey's Chocolate is made and then we get free chocolate when the ride is over, we love it!!LOL It smells awesome, too!!

Dana

Chocolate is a vegetable! Thats what I've been SAYING!!! LOL

Free chocolate from Hershey? I'm there!!!
