    I started to see a pattern during the starting one as you went through it. Every possible number that you can pick when multiplied and added makes 9. So the only possible letter would be D as every answer becomes 4 when subtracted by 5. Denmark is the only European country that starts with D. The ending part is where you can try to break the system made with some other animal with the letter E from Denmark.

    About the grey elephant. The fact that both digits of a number that is a result of multiplying 2-10 by 9 is how i learned multiplying by 9.
    I even created by own formula when i was little:
    x=Any number between 2-10.
    First digit equals x-1.
    The second one equals 9-(x-1).
    The rest of the multiplying board up to 10 i just memorised. So I accidentally avoided learning multiplying as long as i could.

    • @mrsqueaksrules
      @mrsqueaksrules ปีที่แล้ว +5

      It's not just 2-10 by the way, it's _every multiple of 9._ It's a cheap and dirty way to tell if any number you have is divisible by 9, if the sum of its digits (what's called the "digital sum") is 9 or itself a multiple of 9. So 99 is divisible by 9 because the digital sum of 99 is 9+9=18 (which is divisible by 9 because the digital sum of _that_ is 9). And without even checking, you can know with confidence that 3411 is divisible by 9, without even needing to know what the other factor is, because 3+4+1+1=9. (It's 379 FWIW.) The same rule applies for 3, and there are other clever rules for other numbers like 4, 7, and 11.

    I’m finnish and i learned this trick to multiply by nine. You want to calculate x*9 right? So you spread your 10 (hopefully) fingers out and count to x in fingers from left to right. Close the xth finger. The amount of fingers still up on the left is the first digit of x*9 and the amount on the right is the second digit of x*9.
    So, for example 5*9:
    I I I I x I I I I I =45

    Just a note - your first proof, you said "double x would be like x times x" the way you said it would actually result in x squared, but the way you wrote it is correct. 2x is derived from 2 times x, not x times x.
