Test Your Age Using Chocolate MathsChocolate Maths Test

This test math test won't take long. 
N.B. Designed for 2012, but see footnote for other years.

Start the Chocolate Test

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 times.

2. Multiply this number by 2.

3. Add 5.

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
   (Click Start button, run, calc.)

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1762 ....
    If you haven't had a birthday, add 1761.

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.  This is the number of  times you want to have chocolate each week).

The next two numbers are:

YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

Important Footnote

The above test is designed specifically for the year = 2012.  However once you understand the principle, then you can amend for 2013 and other years:

2012 use: 1762 and 1761
2013 use: 1763 and 1762
2014 use: 1764 and 1763
2015 use: 1765 and 1764

Example where you choose 2 Chocolates

1.  Chocolates a day = 2

2.  2 x 2 = 4

3.  4 + 5 = 9

4.  9 x 50 = 450

5.  450 + 1762 = 2212

6.  2212 - yyyy where yyyy = Year you were born.

6a.  2211 - 1949 = 262 (No birthday this year yet)

7.  63 (in 263) = Two Chocolate a day choice, age 63

7a. 62 (in 262) = Age if born in 1949.  (and no birthday yet in 2012!)

Why does it work?

Part a) The number of chocolates per day

Multiply by 2 and later multiply by 50 means multiplying by a total of 100.  When the smoke clears:

1 x 100 = 100  (one choc)

2 x 100 = 200  so the first digit will tell the number of chocolates per day that you chose.

Part b) The clever part comes from the relationship between 1762 and 2012, this is exactly 250.  Do you remember adding 5? Well look back and see that 5 x 50 = 250.  Another way of looking at the figures is:
1762 + (5 x 50) = 2012

Will and Guy's humour - Here is another test:

What Makes 100%?

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions: If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

 ♪

But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E


1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

AND, look how far obsequious will take you.

O-B-S-E-Q-U-I-O-U-S
15+2+19+5+17+21+9+15+21+19 = 143%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's obsequiousness that will put you over the top.

You may have gathered that this joke has been censored, it's what I call the Aunty effect.  For the unexpurgated version see here.

 

Footnote
I have to say that the whole principle of assigning letters and therefore words a number, is ripe for modification.  Have fun making up your own words and giving them values.
