- Squaring two digit numbers in your head (blog.jgc.org)
All my life I’ve done mental arithmetic the ‘wrong way’: I’ve calculated from left-to-right, instead of right-to-left. So when I do something like 24 + 35 I’ll see the 50 first and then the 9. This even applies when there’s a carry and I’ll do something like 36 + 56 as 80 + 12. I do the same thing for multiplication as well.
- George III (Wikipedia)
George III (George William Frederick; 4 June 1738 – 29 January 1820) was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 25 October 1760 until his death in 1820. The Acts of Union 1800 unified Great Britain and Ireland into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, with George as its king. He was concurrently Duke and Prince-elector of Hanover in the Holy Roman Empire before becoming King of Hanover on 12 October 1814. He was a monarch of the House of Hanover, who, unlike his two predecessors, was born in Great Britain, spoke English as his first language, and never visited Hanover.
