DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! The whole problem takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read or you can use a calculator! Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate. (try for more than once but less than 10 times) [note: other versions of this substitute other activities for "having chocolate..."]
2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold)
3. Add 5. (for Sunday)
4. Multiply it by 50 (I'll wait while you get the calculator......)
5. If you have already had your birthday yet his year add 1751. If you haven't, add 1750.
6. Now subtract the four-digit year that you were born. You should now have a three digit number. And here comes the good part:
The first digit of this number is your original number (i.e., how many
times you want to have chocolate [or whatever] each week). The next two
numbers are your age.
