I still remember in high school when I used to crush everyone by doing the work in my head and not wasting my time pressing buttons on a calculator

people don't seem to understand the tricks involved in working things out for yourself

for example if you need to know 37 x 8 you can just double double double or add a zero for 37 x 10 (370) then work out 37 x 2 and subtract that from 370

you should be able to turn 37 x 8 into 370 - 74

so 73 x 11 becomes 730 + 73, 43 x 16 becomes 430 + 215 + 43

You people were talking a foreign language to me when mentioning BODMAS until I googled it. If Googled wasn't around I would've thought that BODMAS was a secret Indian codeword that Chinese caricaturists invented to confuse us Arabs!

Don't need to go to all that effort to confuse you Arabs. Simply tell them to go into a round room and sit in the corner.........

I always got in trouble in maths in high school 'cause I couldn't remember the formulas (due to being too lazy to do homework) so I'd make up my own formulas. I'd always get the answer right but I'd be marked down points' cause I didn't use the formulas they wanted me to use.

Let's say you want to calculate 28 x 19, I could do that for you in about 2 seconds

All you need to do is get to 28 x 20 then subtract 28

So anything multiplied by 10 is easy, just add a zero, so 28 becomes 280, double that to get to 560 then subtract 28

560 minus 28 is 532, 28 x 19 is 532

people at work call me the calculator and they used to think I was extremely smart until I fucked it up by almost stabbing myself in the eye when I drank my water while holding a box cutter
