The other day I was riding the bus, so since I had nothing better to do, I've calculated what's 79x79x79 in my head, and was off by only 30, and that's coming from a guy that had problem doing 7x8 a month before.
Lame-I know, but that's why it's in this thread.πŸ˜›

Picked up a piece of glass off the beach & walked an hour with it till I could find a nice bin to put it in - a bunch of oldies saw me & clapped - I felt pretty good about myself that day πŸ˜„

"It's just practice, I'm building neurone connections in my left brain."

I think it's more significant that you were able to come up with a unique question rather than the right answer.

I wish my math teacher would see it the same way.πŸ˜›

"I think its quite something that you just miss the actual answer by just 30 Yama. You can read up on Vedic Mathematics. It has some nice pointers as to how you can calculate large numbers without doing a whole lot of calculations."

A great advice, I just checked it out, and I can't believe they don't teach vedic math in schools, it's soo freaking simple!
Thanks.πŸ™‚

"You're welcome Yama. But if I were you, I'd use it only in my mind. And not on paper while writing exams."

I don't really write all that much when I'm not using a calculator.
I reckon it'd look kinda weird to the examiner...πŸ˜›
