Worked for me...except I had to force myself to lie that I'd like less than 10 bars of chocolate a week. :P ;)

1. if you replace 1756 with 1757 and replace 1755 with 1756, it will work for year 2007.
2. if you have more than 10 number of chocolate bars, the last two digits indicate your age, the digits before them are the number of the chocolate bars.
3. replace 2 with 20, it will work for people older than 100 years old -- last 3 digits indicate the age, the digits before them indicate the number of chocolate bars you have.
4. easy to make it more complicated (nonlinear) and make more people wonder.
