This is pretty neat how it works out. This is cool chocolate
math!!!!!!!

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It only takes about a minute.......

Work this out as you read.

Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate. (try
for more than once but less than 10)

That is very cool Al....

I picked 5 times a week for chocolate and worked it from there. It came back with 534. It did figure my 5 a week plus my age of 34.

I like it!!

I'm going to pass this on to my colleages....

Later...
