Huh. You're at least trying. Well, all the crazy psycho stuff starts on the next chapter. Here is where I give you the small shot to prepare for the big needle. In other words, the simpler things.

Here we go.

Odd and even numbers are like possessive and recessive genes. Odd being recessive. For example, in any case that an even number is present in multiplication, the product is always even.

E * E = E
(2x * 2y)

Things like
4 * 6 = 24
10 * 14 = 140
2 * 8 = 16

E * O = E
(2x * 2y+1)

Things like
6 * 7 = 42
8 * 3 = 24
14 * 11 = 154

And, lastly, O * O = O
(2x+1 * 2y+1)

Le things like
9 * 5 = 45
13 * 7 = 91
91 * 11 = 1001

To multiply any two digit number by 11 quickly, take the two numbers and add them together. Place the sum in between the original numbers. If the sum is 10 or more, add 1 to the number on the left.

Examples:
15 * 11 = 165
1 + 5 = 6

29 * 11 = 311
2 + 9 = 11

72 * 11 = 792
7 + 2 = 9
