  • Akahad Nice trick but a little complex by Akahad, 1164923781 Report sent Spam Reply [+4] Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

    why two circles at start ? maybe you could have shown with more numbers so that we can generalize the method.

        I think this video was creative and intuitive. Not like traditional forms of multiplication. although still reasonably accurate.

                          Number 34. Pick up the 3. You draw two lines, it's absolutely right. But... did you notice that the circles get divided into 3 parts? The same happens with 4. You draw two lines but the circles get divided into 4 parts. Got it?

                        Cool , might be a good way for helping kids with math - but its quicker to just do it in your head. Oh! and WTF?! If you cant figure it out after watching the clip, then get your self checked - you may be suffering from SEVERE retardation.

                                                    Im sick of all these visual multiplying shit. We all own calculators. And for all those people who have to do non-calc sections on tests. Maybe instead of wasting ur time on shitty vids like these study and u wont need them. Why would I look to the internet to get better at maths. The internet is for mindless conversation, finding information and porn. But Kudos on finding this shit out. Just dont tell me

                                                      The point was not to make multiplication easy, it was an interesting and fun method of playing with shapes and numbers and I rather liked it.

                                                          No these people just want to figure things out with what they have on their shoulders. To them its interesting and gives them a challenge. I myuself being one, like to solve things without a calculator. if you practice enough, it can get to a point where you dont need a calculator and you can do it lightning fast.
