A1 Alex Mazanek , Studied at Pima Community College Updated 8y Very simple one I learned in 5th grade that I stilluse to this day that most people don't know: what's 4x18? This isn't the mostcomplex problem but it would take people at least a couple seconds to solve andsome may have to write it down. Instead what is 8x9? Just double the firstnumber and halve the second, will give you the same answer in half the time. My note- I havetried 4 cases and found correct. 1) 5x16. Doubling firstdigit 10. Half of second digit 8 (10x 8=80) 2) 3x 18 Doubling first digit 6, half of second digit 9 ( 6x9= 54). 3)Seconddigit I have changed so that half of it is with decimal digits 4x17 Doubling first digit 8 half of second digit 8.5.
