Follow the steps below:

1. How many times a week do you fancy eating chocolate?
(choose between 1 and 9)



2. Multiply that number by 2



3. Add 5



4. Multiply by 50 - go on, get that calculator out!



5. If you have had your birthday in 2006, add 1756. If your birthday is still to come, add 1755.




6 Now take away the year you were born.




You should have a three digit number. The first is the number of time you fancy eating chocolate in a week.

The other two digits are ...


YOUR AGE!!!

2006 IS THE ONLY YEAR IN ALL ETERNITY WHEN THIS WORKS. SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS WHILE IT WORKS!

Ok, that's wonderful, but if you use 1757 and 1756 it will work in 2007...oh my god!

It's because you just multiplied 5*50 = 250, and added that to 1755, and subtracted your age...and surprise surprise, currentyear - birthyear = age.

Anyway it won't work if you are 100 or older Laughing

Judging by your enthusiasm, I deduce that it worked for you...destroying my prior assumption that you were 112 years old Embarrassed

How did you come up with 112?

Damn, I look for for that age.

This is not a possibility since my desire to gorge on chocolate occurs at least 85 times per week.
