From: (JAXAshby) Nah Jax, try to relax (we realized you were dying for an excuse to explain "uffda", but none of us cared). You need to try and hold your concentration long enough to read a full post for context (obviously a serious problem for you ... reminds me of an ad I just saw for AADD). OK, I'll try to keep it simple for ya.... my post was in response to your post which involved snipping and the reason you found it necessary to snip what I had said. Now ..... take a deep breath and try to stay focused. Shen nah, shen, uffda is a Midwest term meaning (in this context) "How dumb can these clowns really be?". ect: uffda. From: (JAXAshby) Interpretation: Jax couldn't understand it. Jax couldn't formulate an intelligent answer. Shen shen posts the following: [snip of all but the important stuff] |

From: (JAXAshby) I can just imagine Jax trying to emulate her. Jax, "lets see 000 X 000, is.......ummmmm......errrrrr..... HEY MA ??!!!" Shen I suppose she couldn't have been too bright. Rick she could multiply 3-digit numbers in her head, |

want to see 254 * 256 in my head?
okay ends in 24 next digits back = 650 answer is: 65024 literally, done in my head that fast. no smoke, no mirrors. I can just imagine Jax trying to emulate her.

answer is: 65024
literally, done in my head that fast. no smoke, no mirrors. however, there was a "trick", two actually. First, two numbers multipied together that differ by two will give a product that is 1 less than the square of the number between them. Second, a number squared that ends in 5 gives a product that ends in 25, and the other digits are equal to the remaining digit(s) times itself plus one. Got it? jeffies wife will explain it if you ask her. |

shen, LOL, you made yourself a fool, for *those* numbers can't be worked that
way. dumb try, shen. dumb. but I applaud your effort.

OH? prove it... my mind works in ways you will never understand, and since we were talking mental calculations, who are you to tell me I can't work things in a particular way in my own mind. (statement, not a question). All you can question is the accuracy of my statement, and after the fact, I checked my calculations on a calculator and found them correct. If you wish, waste some time and prove me wrong...... nah, don't do that .... even YOU won't understand what you're saying. Shen |

I, on the other hand prefer a visual memory method. Shen |

bull. there is no intuitive way to calculate the product of those numbers in
that way, any more than you can calc a 4th root of a number algabraicly with a pencil and paper. There ARE ways to calc that product in one's head, but not in the fashion you claimed. None. sorry, dude. wanna see me do square roots using an adding machine? $100 and I will show you. shen, LOL, you made yourself a fool, for *those* numbers can't be worked that way.
