The Daily Bloon

Don’t tell me your age because the Hershey Man is going to guess your age–and be correct!

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 1 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!!!!!)

Isn’t that cool?? I got 214. Right on target =)
