I'm sure it does. Your brain is just like a muscle. Using it makes it stronger and better. I used to be horrible at arithmetic. I could do crazy integrals and solve complicated algebraic equations in my head, but for some reason I had a mental block when it came to arithmetic. You ask me to solve for x and I can give you an answer quickly, but you ask me what's 42-36 and I have to sit and think for 30 seconds. So I spent alot of time improving myself in that respect, learning tricks to doing mental math quickly, and now I can square numbers faster than you can write it on paper.

>> No.2602992

>>2602955
Speaking of which, here is my trick for squaring any double digit number really fast.

Let's take a number, say 33. 33^2, is not someone one generally knows off the top of their head, but look at this neat trick.

(33 - 3) * (33 + 3) = 30 * 36

33^2 - 3^2 = 30*36

33^2 = 30*36 + 3^2

No you can see that doing 33^2 is simpler if you do 30*36 +3^2. You may say that's harder, but it actually isn't. All you really have to do is 3*36, append a zero to that, and add on 9. 3*36 is simply 108. Add on the 0 so that 30*36 is 1080 and then just add 9 so 33^2 is 1089. Simple.

The trick is, so take any number squared, and add and subtract a single digit number such that you have some number ending in zero times another number, then add of the square of the number you added and subtracted.

17^2 = 20*14 + 3^2
52^2 = 50*54 + 2^2
96^2 = 100*92 + 4^2

A bit of practice and you'll be squaring numbers like nobody's business.

Alright, just ate oatmeal, chicken noodle soup, two sandwiches, cream of wheat, and two smoothes. After spending most of yesterday and the entire night hungry and dehydrated, that is no longer a problem (for now). Despite not sleeping at all tonight, at about 9:45 AM I have tried again for the 5th time. My score has been decent now.
