Ah yeah, that. There were variants of that when I was a little person in
middle school in the mid nineties, with numbers changed to make it work
for the time. I guess that will never quite die.
There was a slightly crazy teacher at my school who pointed that out, or
something very much like it. I seem to remember it had the number 42 in
it somewhere though.

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway,

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
This is pretty neat..
Work this out as you read.
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 1759.
If you haven't, add 1758.
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 (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND
WHILE IT LASTS.
