| Simple mathematics but the same logic won't work if you calcualte in 2005. Small corrections you have to make depending on year of calcualtion is
CURRENT YEAR - (250 or 251) and take this instead of 1754 or 1753......
If you want to calculate your age next year you can do the same calculation by using 1755 and 1754.
For non mathematic people this looks amazing really. We should appreciate the logic behind thes kind of techniques.

This is pretty neat how it works out.
This is cool chocolate math!
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. (try for 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 1754... If
you haven't, add 1753
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!!!)
