何か目からウロコだなぁ
How am I just now seeing this pattern for the first time?
Because we’re not taught to think like this in schools. It’s all memorization, we’re not taught about patterns with numbers.
I feel like I’m the only one who’s known about this since forever
I was taught this trick, too.
Weird.
I never saw this pattern, I was taught that the first digit of X times 9 is one less than X, and the second digit is whatever adds to X to make 9.
