The Answer

Almost a week now and I am still sick mentally and physically...I should say mentally and physically exhausted from something (?).

I took dozes of painkiller to relieve the pain but it did not work. Modern medicine man could not diagnose what is wrong with me...

Anyway...talking about loosing memory. I do not have a good memory...how I do it? In class? Okey here is the secret to get a high score on the exam...

In Math specially...it is a pattern and it is a repeatition of pattern. Of course you have to understand the material before you see patterns. Then, pay attention to the professor, and once again you can predict what will be on the exam by the way he delivers the material...the way he talks, the tone of his voice...and once again it is a repetition of behavior...a pattern of behavior...

Yes, I do not have a good memory and in Math...I like to see answers by looking at the questions given...I developed an easy way to get answer without memorization...

Math never change...at the early age I developed a method on how to see the answers from the given questions...one example..."The Rule of Nine" of course everyone of us (adults) knows this except the young ones...

Ok, for the young mind..here is the Rule of Nine: 9 being multiplied by 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 & 9...can you see the answer by looking at it?

The answer has two digit. the 1st digit is one less than the number being multiplied...
Here 9x2= 1_...9x3=2_...9x4=3_...9x9=8_. Do you see the pattern on the 1st digit?
Here 9x2=18...9x3=27...9x4=36...9x9=81. Do you see the pattern on the 2nd digit? Do you see 18, 27, 36...81. If you add 1 & 8 you get 9. So with the next ones...

To summarize the "Rule of Nine"

1. 9 being multiplied by 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 the 1st digit is least than number being multiplied

2. After having the 1st digit which are 1_, 2_, 3_, 4_, 5_, 6_, 7_, 8_ next is to get the 2nd digit of the answer: 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81..
*The 1st and 2nd digit of the answer always add up to nine: 1+8=9, 2+7=9....

or do you see another pattern..
9x2=18...how about 9x9=81
9x3=27...how about 9x8=72
9x4=36...how about 8x7=63

When I was 9th grade (?) taking the math exam, my classmate struggled to retrieved the answers from their memory while I was looking at the answers from the questions...

This trick is good for the kids who had trouble memorizing...like me...

Math is a repeatition...a patterns of numbers...and once you understand the patterns of numbers...you understand Math...

I think the medication is taking over finally...I needed a rest...
