I'm not sure that I understand the criticism of George Soros by some people. I mean that honestly. I first heard Glen Beck talk badly about him and then someone else on Fox and then some random person on a forum and now here.

Can someone explain why some people don't like George Soros. I got about a quarter of the way through his book "The Alchemy of Finance" but thats the only way that I know the guy so I'm not exactly sure what's not to like about him, or for what reasons someone should dislike him.

Extraordinary way to solve Math problem

Hmm... pretty interesting. It's a bit slow, especially with larger numbers, mostly because you have keep repeating the process until you're dealing with double-digit numbers.

I wanted to figure out how to do the procedure with triple digit numbers so I tried 180 x 195.

It turns out that you'll need to reduce the value you're working with down to 100 and then add rather that subtract. So for instance it would be...

180 80
195 95

180 + 95 = 275
195 + 80 = 275
80 x 95 = 7600 (in order to get this without doing normal multiplication, you'd have to do the process over again with the smaller numbers which is why it's time wasting)

I don't know how to explain this very well, I lack the words, but basically, to get the correct answer, you need to increase 275 to 27500 and then add the 7500 to it

27500 + 7500 = 35100

180 x 195 = 35100
