I can't tell you what 6x9 is. But I can tell you what 9x6 is. I always turn that one around. My mind immediately jumps to a visual 60 coz 10x6 is super easy of course and subtracting 6 from it is easily 54.
Similarly 8x7 I can't tell you but 7x8=56 in my brain feels like a little "rhyme" I just need to repeat and I have the answer.
That's also how I remember (somewhat) arbitrary passwords. If it "flows" well almost like a rhyme and can be typed fluently I'll remember. Actual arbitrary ones don't work as well.
- Viliam1234 2y agoYeah, after a while I also learned that 9x6 = 10x6 - 6 = 54. And then I just remembered that 7x8 is "that other difficult number", because by that time I already remembered that 54 and 56 are the two most difficult numbers in the multiplication table. :) Btw, same here, 9x6 and 7x8 feels much more natural than the other way round.
