well you have 5 * 50 + 1760 = 2010 this year. And the number of chocolate is for every time you want it adds a hundred... e.g 5*50 = 250 (2*2 + 5)*50 = 450 (3*2 + 5)*50 = 550.
you see the pattern? it just adds up 100 for every number. 0 -> 250, 1 - > 350 and so on...
so as long as you enter right birth year it will always write your age write kind of tell me your birth year and I can tell you how old you are/going to be this year (since I know that it's 2010) and numbers before will always be the number you've entered before.

P.S love pickels too, so where is my jar?:w00t: )))

Write it as an algebraic equation and the solution will become obvious.

Howdy guys.. I have one problem for you to solve. I need to know how to strange thing works.. It goes like this:

1. Choose one number how many times you would like to eat chocolate per week. It has to be more than 1 and less than 10.

c in {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

Jaan said:

2. Multiple it with 2

2*c in {2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18}

Jaan said:

3. Add 5

2*c+5

Jaan said:

4. Multiple it with 50

100*c+250

Jaan said:

5. If your birthday has passed this year already then add 1760, if not then 1759

100*c + 250 + {1760,1759} = 100*c + {2010, 2009}

Jaan said:

6. Now take off your birth year from it. (Like.. 1991 for me)

100*c + age

Jaan said:

If it's done you will see a number that contains 3 numbers. First number is your chocolate number and another one is your age?!

I have done it multiple times and I just don't understand how the hell it works.

Wingeeeeeeeed.. here's a challenge for you :D If you solve it I will send you a jar of pickles.. I love pickels :)

Unfortunately, I'm an old geezer at 103, which screwed everything up :)

You don't want my pickles :(

I knew you were going to give me butter pickles, not the kosher dills I crave :)
