In which year did Columbus encounter a great Mayan trading canoe carrying cocoa beans?
AA = year - 1448

In which year was the first chocolate house opened in London, called the “The Coffee Mill and Tobacco Roll”?
BBB = year - 1600

In which year did the Dutch chemist Conrad Van Houten invent the cocoa press for his alkalizing process, also known as “Dutching”?
