A good friend (I don't use names often) found a mathematical flaw through the "Chocolate Calculator".

Hey Tim.
I saw the chocolate calculator on your blog. The mechanics of the calculator is very simple.
Let
n be the number of chocolate bars you want.
Let
a be the first digit of your age.
Let
b be the second digit of your age.
Let
y = -1 if your birthday has not passed and
y = 0 if your birthday has passed.
Therefore, the final answer is expressible as:
100
n + 10
a +
b +
ySo in 2009, your birth year is:
2009 - (10
a + b)
Working from the beginning,
n2
n2
n + 5
50(2
n + 5)
50(2
n + 5) + 1758
50(2
n + 5) + 1758 - [2009 - (10
a +
b)]
= 100
n + 250 + 1758 - 2009 + 10
a +
b= 100
n + 2008 - 2009 + 10
a +
b= 100
n + 10
a +
b - 1
Where
y = -1
Tadaa. See. Simple. Next year, just change the value to 1758/1759 to 1759/1760.

You probably know who, but to the clueless, yeah.
So anyway, the wonders of mathematics. Hah. Just the other day I was using mathematical equations to prove a certain thing to my friend on Facebook.
Turns out his friend just commented and made a comment about my comment. And that comment isn't exactly what's going to help me get my back on those people.
I didn't delete it, it's her comment. But I didn't reply it.
Anyway, papers.
Core Maths was okay. I think I'll pass it fairly well.
Chemistry was stupidly funny. I was just smirking, snorting and giggling throughout both papers.
When that happens, it means that I'm either going to do damn well for it or damn badly for it.
Moment paper was announced over, I guffawed, attracting stares until I told them I was gone and they were like "haha".
Then, practical. Madness all the way, haha. What to do? Play for so many people, haha.
Anyway, my practical was okay. Violin was okay.
Yang Tze took a damn long time because he/she would comment after every practical. Which indicted Flute and me to stay back for a long time. Poor Ben Wee.
Gah, Chinese Paper 2 tomorrow. And I haven't done much Core Maths and A Maths today. Boo.
Haha okay I think I should get some rest. Probably going to update
privacy a little while later, but haha.
