Hi Everybody,

Have a sweet morning.. or .afternoon.. or .evening !!!





YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHS


Don't tell me your age , the Hershey Man will know!

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHS This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read .

Don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!

1. Pick the number of times a week you'd like to have chocolate
(more than once but less than 10)


2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3.. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
(or use the one listed under 'accessories' on your computer)

5. If you already had your birthday this year add 1759 ...
If you haven't, add 1758.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born


You should have a three digit number

The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week)

The next two numbers are


YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!)


2009 IS THE ONLY YEAR IT WILL WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

MATH FUN

Let me take only a minute

Just do the following multiplication :

13837 x Your Age x 73 = ? ? ?

You get very interesting resut, let me know.


You get the same result if you multiply 10001 * your age * 101

How is that?

FIND OUT MISTAKE

Find out the mistake in this :

Division by Zero

Everyone knows that0/2=0 , the problem is that far too many people also say that

or 2 = 2 ! Remember that division by zero is undefined! You simply cannot divide by

0

zero so don’t do it!

Here is a very good example of the kinds of havoc that can arise when you divide by zero. See if you can find the mistake that I made in the work below.

1. a = b We’ll start assuming this to be true.

2. ab = a ^2 Multiply both sides by a.

3. ab - b^2 = a^ 2 - b^2 Subtract b^2 from both sides.

4. b ( a - b) = ( a + b ) ( a - b )Factor both sides.

5. b = a + b Divide both sides by a - b .

6. b = 2b Recall we started off assuming a = b .

7. 1 = 2 Divide both sides by b.

So, we’ve managed to prove that 1 = 2! Now, we know that’s not true so clearly we

made a mistake somewhere. Can you see where the mistake was made?

The mistake was in step 5. Recall that we started out with the assumption a = b .

However, if this is true then we have a - b = 0 ! So, in step 5 we are really dividing by zero!

That simple mistake led us to something that we knew wasn’t true, however, in most

cases your answer will not obviously be wrong. It will not always be clear that you are dividing by zero, as was the case in this example. You need to be on the lookout for this kind of thing.

Remember that you CAN’T divide by zero!
