Your Age By Chocolate Math


Chocolate

It takes less than a minute... Work this out as you read:

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

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 'I believe you will need to get a calculator ;)'

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1755..... If you haven't, add 1754

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!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2005) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO Email this game to your friend

    WALEG,
    Nice trick :)
    why will it only work in 2005?

    >>for the people who didnt get it right, try adding all the numbers one by one instead of adding them up in a bunch, or else you'll get it wrong.
    (like 1+1=2 then add 2+3 INSTEAD of 1+2+3)

    Waleg,

    I truely don't believe that you can break it down and explain how it works, can you?

    A brief look at the problem shows that 1755 and 1754 is a factor of +/-1 to your age due to whether you have had your birthday or not; therefore, if you want it to work for next year just follow the same steps, but use 1756 and 1755 instead...the rest would take a bit more time to analyze in which have not the time or intention of doing...hehe..

    Actually, it will work for any year as long as you add a number equal to that year minus 250; i.e. for 2007, subtract 250 and use 1767 as the constant.

    Here's why it works...

    Let's call your number "x", and your birth year "y"...

    Choose a number: x
    Double it: 2x
    Add 5: 2x+5
    Multiply by 50: (2x+5)50
    Add 1756: (2x+5)50+1756
    Subtract y: (2x+5)50+1756-y
    Solve: (2x+5)50+1756-y
    =100x+250+1756-y
    =100x+(250+1756)-y
    =100x+(2006-y)
    =100x+age

    The key is that the number 250 + the constant (1756, this year) must equal the current year. That way, when you subtract your year of birth, you are actually subtracting from the current year and are left with your age. If you add your age to any multiple of 100, the last 2 digits will not change as the age is added to 00, and will "represent" your age. The first digit or two will represent the number you chose because when multiplied by 1, it will appear unchanged.

    Example: if you are 40 and choose 5, then 100x+age would equal 500 + 40 = 540.
