Your Age By Chocolate Math !. Number of times you would like to have chocolate in a week (more than once but less than 10) 2.Multiply this number by 2 3.Add 5 4. Multiply by 50 5..If you have already had your birthday this year add 1755, if not add 1754 6 Now subtract the four digit number of the year you were born You should now have a three digit number. The first digit s/b the number you started with ( the # of times per week you wanted chocolate. ) The next two numbers are your age ( (OH YES IT IS ! ! ) This is the only year 2005 that this will work.

Hey ladies who it didn't work for did you choose 10 for how many times you want to eat chocolate? I did the first time and it didn't work, so I read it again and it says pick a number less than 10.
