{{/usCountry}}"Or you could just solve it the way my third graders do: 300 x 4 = 1200; 12 x 4 = 48; 1200 + 48 = 1248," posted an individual. "That actually makes sense. The number of intersections corresponds to each multiple," wrote another. "Not foolproof. Ok, if you add the 6 & 2, then the 1 & 1 it works, but how would you know to do this if you didn't already know the answer should be 828?" commented a third while sharing a picture. "Not always work. Fun, but bias," wrote a fourth while sharing a video.
