Along the same line as re-making videos, I found there are tons of formulaic math tips and tricks on YouTube. I guess I never thought to look before "sharing" what I had experienced in the past.
DISCLAIMER: I have no knowledge or experience with the following topic.
As far as trivia goes, the term "the nines" was used as a reference by LSD users to describe the physical side effects of taking the drug (cramps, nausea, apprehension, etc.). This was supposedly attributed to the use of strychnine as either a residual by-product or an element in the drug's production. Strychnine=nine="the nines".
This is a common urban misconception aka myth. Strychnine is not involved in any way, shape or form.
Kind of a far cry from the rudimentary skills of single digit multiplication tricks, wouldn't you say?
