You just have to imagine a non-line without intersections. if you draw the 0 non-line dashed you obtain two intersecting dashed lines, two intersections between a dashed line and a solid line, and one proper intersection. From that you can see the proper placement of the 1. Of course it works for 10×10!

Then again, while that works for something simple like 23*40, it still doesn't directly work for 10*10. So not quite there yet. Still, interesting! Though seriously, just use a calculator. :) To multiply 10×10 and the like, you could multiply the value of the last set of dots of a number by 10.
