do you have any problems with basic multiplication

[snorkel]

I think (hope) basic "times tables" are second nature for most people, but for some reason 8*5 always troubles me. I have to stop and think through why it's not 45. also the only reason I remember 6*8=48 without doing the math is because it rhymes.

i calculate most in my head lol

Do do linear algebra quickly, I've had to refresh a lot of my times tables. It doesn't make sense to me why it should be so difficult sometimes, but it is. 7 * 8 still frustrates me.

I have trouble with all of the 7s and 8s, except 7*2, 7*3, 7*4, 8*2, 8*3, and 7*8. It only takes me a few seconds to work out the others but still, I consider that trouble.

Nope, got everything up through 12 memorized completely

7*8 and 8*9 are the ones that take me a while.

That's really weird, 7*8 was always one of the easiest ones when I was a kid

All of the 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s and 6s, 9s, 10s, 11s, and 12 I have down pat, but the 7s and 8s always gave me trouble. There's some logic to all of the others: 2 and 3 and 4 are simple, 5 is easy because it's half of 10, 6 comes quickly to me, 9 does the whole first digit ascends second descends, 10s are easy, 11s have their property,and 12s just come quickly. But 7s and 8s always confuse me!

Who knows, man.

As silly as this seems, eight times six confused me when I was little for some reason.  Yet, I'm fine with six times eight.

same, I don't remember it specifically but there was some Schoolhouse Rock (maybe? something like that) video that had a ridiculous SEVEN TIMES EIGHT IS FIFTY SIX!!! rhyme that I remember watching in like 3rd grade. it's been permanently ingrained since then

[Walter]

I still use my fingers.

7*8 was hard until I remembered it as that one that I could never remember.

Then it was easy.

[Nyerp]

in elementary school there was this "rap" they made us listen to that said EIGHT TIMES SEVEN IS

FIFTY-SIX

EIGHT TIMES SEVEN IS

FIFTY-SIX

thanks to that i forgot the rest of the multiplication table

5678

7*8 = 56

lol

[Wrench]

Not at all. I can do basically anything inside my head.
