Your Age By Chocolate

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For all you math whizzes out there...
You will never want to tell me your age but you'd probably tell a lie anyway - but the CadburyMan will know!

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute
Work this out as you read ...
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is one of those waste of time things but it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1756.... If you haven't, add 1755.

6. 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!!!!!)

Mother: "Now son, act your age!"
Son: "So how old am I?"
Mother: "Go ask your father!"
Son: "Dad, how old am I?"
Dad: "Away and act your age! Ask your Mom - she was there!"

er umm - there's the problem!

[Ricco]

Double checked my math - on paper this time instead of in my head. It does work - spot on. (munch, munch):roll:

You think I jest?

[obiron]

Another good idea of defining 'age by choclate' might be to inquire of ones favourite treat during childhood. Mine was 'Five Boys' - by Fry's I think - does anyone else remember this bar of choc?

They also made 'chocolate cream' much later. Do you rememeber the ads where a cat would knock over the chocolate and a woman would coolly catch it, in the nick of time.

When 'Galaxy' was first introduced c.1965, I, as a mid - teenager would refuse to watch the t.v. ads - being loyal to Cadbury's by then. I resented Galaxy's intrusion onto the market and covered my ears and wailed, loudly, whenever a Galaxy ad. came on. I was a weird kid.

It worked for me - confirming that I am no longer 21!

[will2665]

[Kingetter]

Have some chocolate to keep you going while you wrestle with the problem.
