The above test is designed specifically for the year = 2009. However once you understand the principle, then you can amend for 2010 and
other years:
2009 use: 1759 and 1758 2010 use: 1760 and 1759 2010 use: 1761 and 1760
Example where you choose 2
1.
Two chocolates a day = 2
2. 2 x 2 = 4
3 4 + 5 = 9
4. 9 x 50 = 450
5. 450 + 1759 = 2205
6. 2205 - yyyy where yyyy = Year you were born.
6a. 2205 - 1949 = 256
7. 2 (in 256) = Two Chocolate a day choice
7a. 56 (in 256) = Age if born in 1949.
♦
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 1759 and 2009, 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: 1759 + (5 x 50) = 2009
In the answer you have 2009 + a number of hundreds depending on your choice of chocolates per day. 2205, 2305, 2405. If you focus just on
2009 - yyyy then you will certainly get your age.

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.
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.
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.
