How to Calculate your age by chocolate

1) How many of your fingers have chocolate smears? (If none, go eat some. If you have more than 10 fingers lick enough of them clean to get down to no more than 10.)
2) Multiply the number of smears by 2.
3) Add 5.
4) Multiply by 50.
5) Add the current year (2007)
6) Subtract 250 if you've had your birthday already this year. If you haven't had your birthday yet this year then subtract 251.
7) Subtract your birth year.
8) Look at the resulting 3 or 4 digit number. The last two digits are your age (if there is a zero in the next to last place you are under ten years old and shouldn't be reading LJ. Go do your homework.) The remaining one or two digits will be the number of chocolate-smeared digits you have.

Yep. The formula - (2f + 5) x 50 + 2007 - 250 [-1] - b
(where f = fingers and b = birth year)
reduces to: 100f + 2007 [-1] - b
= 100f + age.

It won't work if you're older than 99, of course.

I shamedly admit that I got hopelessly distracted round about Step 4... and we now have no more Choc Melts in the freezer ;)

No more Choc Melts? *sigh* Well, so much for me visiting you via teleport.

Oh, umm, but there is coffee cake, homegrown strawberries, home-made lemon butter and gourmet jelly beans...

I have to answer for him, because Avon is resetting the teleport to visit you.

This is good, we'll get him fat and well-fed and far too comfortably slothful to fuss about Gauda Prime...

Works for me. :^)

LOL - I'm sorry, just thinking about chocolate and math in the same sentence broke my brain.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

I think that was why I ended up in the freezer :)

All knowledge is valuable.
