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. (for Sunday)


4.. Multiply it by 50 I'll wait while you get the calculator...............


5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1755....If you haven't, add 1754 .....


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 (2005) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

You'r supposed to find a three digit number Magik. You've made a mistake at somewhere. Cause I've tried this and mine works too! :D

Edit: Unless you've found "222" or "333" ( Dunno 'bout your age). In this case (God I'm wasting my time :) ) the first two digits and the last two digits are all same. Heheh
