Yep, it's called math.
I was generally surprised at how many people can't do simple math without a calc, like multiply 7 x 8.
Check mate. Sucker.
Erm...
Meh, close enough.
I haven't done any long division since highschool, and now that I'd like to, I can't remember how. 🥺
Good thing search engines exist, eh?
Are you suggesting that I lift a finger to help myself? Why, I never!
Of all the multiplication you had to pick 7 x 8. I hate 7 x 8.
I memorized in 3rd grade or whatever my multiple tables, but I never trust 7 x 8.
7 x 8 = 56
1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 5, 6, 9 ?
No. That's wrong. After 7 comes 8. After 8 comes 5. No, it goes 5, 6, 7, 8.
If I could visualize it as,
56 = 7 x 8
I'd be fine, but I can't see it that way.
No I have to take it as 7 x 7 (49) + 7 (1 + 6), to get 56.
Shit. I hope that makes sense to someone.
Lol, that's why I picked it 😂. I hate 7 x 8 as well 😂.
That's how I do it as well 😂, 7 x 7 + 7, I never remebered 56 😂. Or 8 x 8 - 8, either way works for me 😂.
