My wife's boss found this and said there's no way you'll figure this out!

Surely the smart people here can explain this. Thanks

This is pretty neat.

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!

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.

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.
