This takes less than a minute to do. Please work it out as you read.
Be sure that you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
- 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).
- Multiply this number by 2. (Just to be
bold).
- Add 5. (For Sunday).
- Multiply it by 50 - I'll wait while you
get the calculator.
- If you have already had your birthday
this year add 1756, if you haven't, add 1755.
- 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 will only work in 2006. If you're reading this after 2006, why didn't you visit us before?
