The Magic Chocolate Calculator

Have you checked out the chocolate calculator? It will only work in the year 2009, so get busy and give it a try - it only takes a minute. Work it out as you go and be sure you don't read the bottom until you have gone through each step.

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE
(You don't have to tell me your age - but the Hershey Man will know!)

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 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! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

Now excuse me while I go scavenge for some chocolate....

  2. Are you SURE it was off??? I'll bet you used the number 10 for the number you would like to have chocolate each week, and it has to be a number LESS than 10...let me know if that was it! Hey, and just wait until I get my chocolate clock on board!
