Another interesting article. I particularly liked the two math puzzles that you and Eddie talked about. I computed my BMI without difficulty and solved the multiplication you set out, using a method that neither you nor Eddie considered, but one that I was taught in elementary school.
I wrote the GMAT test almost 40 years ago, before starting my MBA. In preparation for same, I enjoyed doing all the math and grammar problems that were part of such tests.. I relearned all the intricacies of fractions, decimals, algebra and geometry, and was the richer for it.
Regarding the plethora of multiplication methods: I always looked at multiplication and division as a Rubick’s Cube. Many ways to solve it. But whatever you default to is likely your fastest and most accurate for that attempt. I see the same here. Fantastic.
