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.

I'll have to have a friend and son-in-law try it. Won't work for me. I don't like chocolate.

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.

I tried it 3 different times using different numbers....it still didn't work for me.
(of course this IS the computer and I've made it freeze 4 times today.)
