    I actually watched all of it. My elementary teacher never taught me the 'elegant' method.. I learned it in highschool. Sad right?

    This is one of the few math concepts that made sense to me without explanation. Go figure.

    I understood this easily when I was a kid. The fact that people have trouble with it seems odd to me o.O

    Math is truly the universal language. When (if) the aliens come this is how we will communicate.
