Age by Chocolate - Mathematics Trick

Step 1. Choose the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate between 1 and 10.

Step 2. Multiply this number by 2. Add 5. Multiply it by 50.

Step 3. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1761. If you haven't, add 1760.

Step 4. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should end up with a three digit number.

The first digit is the number of times you like chocolate in the week.

The last two digits is your age!
Let me explain this to you using my date of birth as an example. You can try with yours.

Step 1. I choose to eat chocolate 6 times in a week. I love chocolates

Step 2. 6*2=12+5=17*50=850

Step 3. My birthdate is 5^th April 1983 and my birthday in 2011 is yet to come. It will be there tomorrow

So we have to add 1761 to 850 = 2611

Step 4. Subtracting 1984 from 2611 gives 627.

Here 6 is the number of time I would like to have chocolate and 27 is my age. Isn't it fun?

So for those who just want to have fun, go and do the trick with your pals. Those who want to exercise their grey cells, try and tell me what's going on here.
