This is the only year it will work. Only takes a min or two. Fun I think Smile

ahh no looks like it can work for other years - but still worth a go I'd say
According to that I'm only 5  :roll: better go back to primary school...
Worked for me
Worked for me, it will work for any year with some tweaking.

Using a bit of algebra it works out as:

If n = the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (1<n<10)

If y = The year of your birth

(100n+(2005 or 2004))-y

= your age +(100*the number of chocolate chocolates you would like in a week)

So all you would have to do is add one to 1755 and 1754 in the instructions to make it valid for 2006.

works fine for me

all i did was change the number 1755 to 1756, simple  :grin:
It was two years out for me, and I checked my math against a calculator!  

But then I have to avoid chocolate - it causes some weird reactions with my meds for Hashimotos, so I don't eat much of it, and had to put the least possible number of times to eat it : "more than once, less than ten".  So I put two.  Maybe that's what threw it off for me.
