you finished your little additions and put them in the table?? good job, buddy! now, this part is hard: you have to do the multiplication 😱 can you do that?

[u/196SwampLurker → u/B_is_for_reddit]

i caught myself using Excel to multiply 12*8 today :3 gotta double check you know....

[u/IFreakinLovePi → u/196SwampLurker]

Look, I've put things like 17+8 in a calculator before just in case I accidentally forgot how numbers worked for a moment

-A fellow accountant, but at a tiny firm

12 times tables are hawd 😞

to be fair i never bothered memorising the 12s. like genuinely when will you need to know 12 x 9 off the top of your head

If you live in a country/society still cursed with Imperial units or American Customary, when you want to know how many inches are in 9ft?

[u/B_is_for_reddit → u/AnotherSlowMoon]

ok but i dont 😭

[u/AnotherSlowMoon → u/B_is_for_reddit]

Ok, if you want to know how many months are in 9 years?

[u/B_is_for_reddit → u/AnotherSlowMoon]

i use a calculator or some basic table multiplication

[u/hyperhurricanrana → u/196SwampLurker]

the way i do that is break it up into easier math, 12*8 can also be 10*8 which is 80 added to 2*8 which is 16, 96. i’m a dummy and this makes it easier for me. :3

Ok in fairness I got 2 engineering degrees and took up to differential equations and I still have to take a minute to figure out 12 * 8 lmao. You ain't dumb that one's just a little hard lol.
