I wish I was.. These kinda things were what made me love maths when I was in primary school (age 4-10/11).. Then in secondary school (age 11/12 - 16), we weren't taught any intriguing things like this.. Probably why I ended up hating maths, never going, and getting a B in my final exams lol (sounds ok but it was the lower end of my results)

i use booths algorithm

55 in binary is 00011011
other num is  x00011011 -----> right shift this number 8 times and add to the number above

for some reason i am addicted to binary language !

I knew this since 2nd Grade.
But then again I knew the formula n/2(a1+an) too. Dang I was one smart kid. Still am.

wow very cool.

My schools didn't teach anything like this either, just the good ol' multiplication tables and brute force practice, good times.
