Just look at this tutorial. 7 x 8 = 56 has now become so complicated.

Thanks for the link. It is very cool. I have always used a calculator to multiply and after taking a few minutes to run through this tutorial I am amazed how quickly I can multply numbers over a hundred--without a calculator.
It may be unorthodox but it is grrreat! Besides, although it \"feels like\" a trick it seems to be simply based on the distance numbers are from powers of ten.
