This is cool

[Andreina]

Work this out as you read.

Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!

This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.







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 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! (Oh YES, it IS!!!!!)







THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2002) IT WILL WORK







Halo

Well, it does work, these math things never cease to confuddle me.

(Oooh, Aaaah) Neat trick Halo!

 

[MissTaken]

Yes...very cool!

Good fun, Halo. I think some of the girls will need to multiply their chocolate coefficient by 1752.

 

[Massive Grooves]

Next year you can change step #5 to 1753 or 1752 and it will only work for 2003.

Well, THAT was freaky

That was kinda cool, I used to love those math puzzles when in school.

So how do they do it?
