here's something cool that i learned today at school. some of you guys might know it.
so first, pick a number between 1 - 10 rating how much you love chocolate (1 being i hate it and 10 being i can't live without it).
now that you have a number, multiply that number by 2 and add 5 to your product. after you've added 5, multiply that sum by 50 and add 1,755 (if you haven't had your birthday this year) or add 1,756 (if you have had your birthday this year). after you've done that, subtract the year you were born in your answer should be...
here's an easier way to work it out: N (your number) x 2 + 5 x 50 + 1,755 (if your birthday hasn't passed) or 1,756 (if your birthday has passed) - (the year you were born in) =
[spoiler="answer"]the number you picked between 1 - 10 and your age[/spoiler]
you might need a calculator or you could just use paper to work out the problem, or you could just do it in your head.
