Chocolate math(s)

[fah]

Play along....

1. Pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate. (Try for more than once but less than 10). Be honest!

2. Multiply this number by 2.

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50.

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1754. If you haven't add 1753.

6. Now subtract the 4 digit year that you were born.

The first digit of this was your original number (how many times a week you want to have chocolate). The next two numbers are your age

This is the only year this will ever work.

It worked for me.

But why do those things say this is the only year it will ever work? People have emailed me similar stuff and they always end with that line.

I'm guessing that this is the equation for '2004'. Next year there will be a different equation with different numbers?
