Unraveling âChocolate Mathâ⦠Sorry but I couldnât resist!
Variables:
X = Times you eat chocolate. Where X lim 1-10 â¦that is x canât be 1 or 10.
B = Year you were born.
Steps 1-4⦠from above are defined by the following equation:
(x2+5)*50 = z
Then we are given 2 choices, that is, two âvariableâ constants to choose from based on when our birthday is. This makes sense because if you have had your birthday on this year then you will be one year older on the same year. As such, you will need a different âconstantâ for the equations to make sense (1760 vs. 1759). This is âStep 5â.
So we have:
a) if youâve had your birthday this year add 1760
b) if you havenât had your birthday add 1759
Both Steps 5-6 are defined by the following equations based on your a or b choice.
a) z + 1760 â b = y
b) z + 1759 â b = y
Finally you have your 3 digit number which is given by y. This number will give you the correct age and number of times you eat chocolate regardless of what you pick(as long as it is within our limit of 1-10). The statement about âChocolate Mathâ working only in 2010 is false. It will work in any year as the year that we are currently in, is neither a constant nor a variable in either of these equations. Here is the proof:
a) z + 1760 = y + b
b) z + 1759 = y + b
BTW sorry if I spoiled this for anyone! Like I said... I couldn't resist!
