Does anyone else remember that bryan adams song that used to flood music channels day in day out in early 2001-2002..?? On a day like today...that was the name of the song and it had this little mind game in the video. Well I tried it today .. after alll these years...and i got a tiger!!! Dammit a tiger was supposed to walk past the screen ..not an -------- like it does in the video!! After much thought on it I realized its got sumthing to do with my bad multiplication skills. I cant multiply 4x9!! It really sends me into a complete contemplative sort of frenzy!! I really cant do it...u know that trick where you add 4 to the 4x8 figure and get the answer for 4X9? Tried that as well. Couldnt get it right yet again!!!Ofcourse Im doing this all mentally. Its something of great concern to me now...with my relaince on cell phone calculators etc...I've lost practice and the habit of actually using my brain for simple calculations! And I think thats dulling my brain cells to an extent. Thank heavens I haven't got to the point whr I reach out for a calculator for 2+2...
So the game goes like this...
1. Think of any number between 2 and 9 ( i chose 4 )
2. Multiply that number by 9..( this is whr it got me and i was so sure 4x9=28 !!)
3. Its a two digit number..add them up( 2+8=10)
4. Subtract 5 from it. ( ...5)
5. Think of a country with that letter. ( thot of ..yo check it..ETHIOPIA!) hehe
6. Take the second letter from the country name ( T..)
7.Think of an animal beginning with that letter..( Tiger duh..)
and just then..guess what walks by the screen in the video??
Well...if u havent done this already and dont know the answer ...oh its good..gta check it out for yourself.
Meanwhile, Im gna go practice my 4 times table and get that damn answer to 4x9!!
4x1=4
4x2=8
4x3=12
4x4=16
4x5=20
4x6=24
4x7=28
4x8=28+4=32
4x9=32+4=36!!!!!! 4x9= 36!!yay!!!
Maybe I don't know whole of the 4 times multiplication table but atleast i know the tune of it by heart!( works only with indo no education system i guess... or maybe it was just my town's school system!?Lovely melody that!
