Easy for many of you I know but for them that go around with their heads up their ar$es not so.

By:
Fruit bat?
|
|
By:
anyway the answer is £1.05p
|

By:
Percy you got it wrong.
 |
|
By:
I did indeed, should read things properly!
5p |

You'll be old one day!

x+y =1.10
y+100 =x therefore 2x +1.00 = 1.10 2x=0.10 x==0.05 y=1.05 |
|
By:
That's rather formal, Dunlaying, for me it was 10p/2 (£1 remainder 10p)
|
|
By:
What's all this x and y nonsense? I did it in my head.
|
|
By:
£1.04 & 4p & a 2p tip.

I didn't see it Foinavon .

As long as you get to the right answer, that's all that matters. What are you reading now?

By:
What is 32 x 32?
If you ask 10 people, I'd wager only three or four would get the correct answer (without a calculator). |
|
By:
960 +64 would be my mental route to it.
|
|
By:
Same for me, Foi.
Except I did 10 x 32 x 3 to get to 960. |
|
By:
"960 +64 would be my mental route to it."
Exactly the same method as you Foinavon. |
|
By:
but if he had gone into poundland !!!!
sorry sorry sorry  |
|
By:
Yes, 3x32 add a zero for me. The same thing. I tackle mental arithmetic the opposite way round to how it was taught at school for some unknown reason, but it works.

By:
I HAVEN'T GOT ENOUGH FINGERS!!!
sorry again |
|
By:
Good to see people can still do without a calculator, perhaps having been punters helps.

17.5 percent vat in my poor old head was a doddle
10 half of the result half of that again - add together - I know I know sorry |
|
By:
I knew you were kidding us on about the fingers Mo
 |
|
By:
I think under pressure, many people would think 30 x 30 = 900 and then struggle.
|
|
By:
There's an easier way than that

I use them for other pursuits

have you got electricity back on now? suarez scored already better than money in the bank |

By:
I happened upon a simple way to tell the difference between squared numbers, 'whats the diff between 25 squared and 35 squared for example'. 25x25=625 35x35=1225...difference 600. add 25+35=60 x by the difference 10 and you have 600. Amaxzing the rubbish we can process when not sleeping.

I have been pardoned and taken down from the naughty step as it gave me vertigo.

By:
Just checked that in my mind with 9 and 12, it works, well done Mo. Is there a general proof of it out there?
|

Sorry, meant Boxing.

If you hear a loud bang it may be an iron being deployed!!  |
|
By:
I also found a way of adding consecutive numbers easily, I know how sad am I.
