Ever wondered how Chinese multiply so quickly? Ravi sent me this video a while ago and I did not see it thinking it may have objectionable content! When I saw it, I was amazed!

Could you ever think of this? It’s a great maths trick. I don’t know how it would multiply 10 x 10, or for that matter any number which is a 10 multiple. Do you have an idea?

I got this as an email forward today, and couldn’t resist but post it here! Enjoy!

We thought fuel has become really expensive after the recent price hike. But then we compared it with other common liquids and did some quick calculations, and I felt a little better!!!!!!!.

To know why, see the results below – you’ll be surprised at how outrageous some other prices are!!

• Diesel (regular): Rs.44.08 per litre
• Petrol (speed): Rs.57.68 per litre
• Coca Cola 330 ml can : Rs.20 = Rs.61 per litre
• Dettol antiseptic 100 ml Rs.20 = Rs.200 per litre
• Radiator coolant 500 ml Rs.160 = Rs.320 per litre
• Pantene conditioner 400 ml Rs.165 = Rs.413 per litre
• Medicinal Mouthwash like Listerine 100 ml Rs.45 = Rs. 450 per litre
• Red Bull 150 ml can : Rs.75 = Rs.500 per litre
• Corex cough syrup 100 ml Rs.57 = Rs. 570 per litre
• Evian water 500 ml Rs. 330 = Rs. 660 per litre (Rs. 660 for a litre of WATER!! And the buyers don’t even know the source (Evian spelled backwards is Naive…)
• Kores whiteout 15 ml Rs. 15 = Rs. 1000 per litre
• Cup of coffee at any decent business hotel 100 ml Rs. 50 = Rs. 500 per litre
• Old Spice after shave lotion 100 ml Rs. 175 = Rs. 1750 per litre

HP DeskJet colour ink cartridge 21 ml Rs.1900 = Rs. 90476 per litre!!!

Now you know why computer printers are so cheap? So they have you hooked for the ink!

So, the next time you’re at the pump, don’t curse anyone – just be glad your car doesn’t run on cough syrup, after shave, coffee, or God forbid, printer ink!
