UR age by chocolate math !
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!
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.

Hope you don't mind, I borrowed this calculator for my site but I have linked to you at the bottom.
Hey Red Mum, No probs, Thank u for linking
lets say you want to have chocolate x times a week
(x*2 + 5) * 50 = 100x + 250 = y (say)
age = 2005 - (yr u were born) {assuming birthday already passed}
= 1755 + 250 - (yr u were born)
= 1755 + y - 100x - (yr u were born)
since adding 100x or sutracting it makes no change to the last 2 digits u get ur age. this method will not work in 2006.
hahahaha
