Chocolate Age Riddle

So here is a fun math riddle that somebody gave to me the other day. Please follow the instructions EXACTLY or it will not work.


1. How many times a week do you want chocolate? Between 1 and 9.

2. Now times that number by 2.

3. Now add 5 to that number.

4. Multiply that number by 50.

5. If you have already had your b-day this year add 1759, if not add 1758.

6. Subtract the four digit year you were born.

7. You should now have a 3 digit number.

8. The first number is your original Chocolate number, and the last two numbers are your age.


FYI, this is the only year that this riddle will work.

I've encountered math problems like these before at Nuames. Such strange oddities.
