@ThreeCatsScratching I'm aware its not actually Curly, I just noticed that they have some similar mannerisms so I was wondering if it was some sort of throw-back or coincidence or what.
I'm thinking about this phenomenon. now we all should know that that it's really 7 x 4 = 28. But if we look at the 7 x 13 equation and look at the 13, it's 1 + 3 = 4 which would then in turn say 7 x 4 = 28 which therefore means 7 x 13 = 28. amazing, huh? lol
@pegmorris An abacus?! Holy smokers! You know, you can do math with an abacus...you just need a lot of practice--it actually works. If you really love Abbot and Costello, have a look at their "Who's on first?" skit. That's got to be my most absolute favourite routine. See you~
My senior year in HS, I mentioned you could add 13 7 times and get 28. My classmates were dumbfounded. My algebra teacher laughed and said, "She's right! It's an Abbott and Costello skit!" then showed the class on the board.
28/7=13 is totally wrong. cos 8/7=1 den th 21/7=3. instead of combing 1 and 3 as 13..it shld b added as 1+3=4. so 28/7=4. it was den correct for 3x7=21, however th 1x7 supposed to b 70 as 1 is in th tens place. den 3+3+3+3+3+3+3=21 is correctly, however th 7 other 1s is ten place so shld +10+10+10+10+10+10+10 instead of +1+1+..+1
I wish I had known how to do this routine 28 divided 7 = 13 back in the second grade. My teacher was always trying to get me to explain my math work at the blackboard. This method always made sense to me.
im just gonna do it for the hell of it.... Dont matter what the teacher says... Now if u can get the teacher to go along with it (hopefully the teacher seen abbott n costello) it would be funny just to see the students faces sayin WTF???? lol....
Well you didn't mention that in your first post. A lot of the people in here are saying they are going to do this and 'baffle' their teacher. They won't be impressed.
Many commenters seem to believe that this is some sort of amazingly clever 'trick', while it's not at all.
Just look at the recent comment from vivifiable12 for an example. People like this one are all lying.
