...so now try this!
YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE!!!
This is really clever actually. It takes less than a minute...
Work it out as you read. Use a calculator if you need one.
THE TEST:
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have
chocolate (more than 1 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've already had your birthday this year add 1754. If you haven't,
add 1753.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

THE ANSWER:
You should have a three digit number.
The first digit of this number 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!!)
(The crucial numbers are at step 5. If you are doing this next year - 2005 - the numbers will be 1755 and 1754 etc. going up by 1 every year.)
