Here's a cute little math trick that, apparently, will only work this year.

1. First, 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

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 1759 ... If you haven't, add 1758.

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.


Teal says: Actually I don't know what chocolate has to do with this, since it will work with any number under 10 you start with and instead of chocolate, one could have said "sex" (ooohh). There is no reward, there is no chocolate.
What am I, a candy store?

I deleted all the cutesy remarks that often accompany such things, no exclamation points, no CAPS, no "Don't scroll downs and spoil the fun .;.." We aren't infants, we have learned (it says here) impulse control, and we can follow simple directions, right? If we want fun, we'll just start with the chocolate (or the sex) and, what the Hell, we already know how old we are.
