    Another Problem for Loring

    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 not one of those waste of time things, 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!!!!!)


    THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2006) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS

        Joe and Wayne, It worked for me and my GrandDaughters also. But I figured Loring needed a challenge to get thru the weekend. Just kidding, Bill

          Hey Bill,

          I think we're going to short circuit poor Loring's brain with all this stuff.

          BTW, it does work
