| 50. I can multiply numbers in my head |
 |
I pretty well know just about all the products of two digit numbers, and I can sometimes multiply three digit numbers in a few seconds.
In school I was known for being very good at being able to do problems with numbers in my head.
I pretty much know which numbers are prime all the way up to 10000 and beyond (though sometimes I might have to think for a few seconds about some particular number), and know what the factors are of those that are not prime (or know one of the factors and can figure out the rest). I was always fascinated by prime numbers and properties of numbers, and number theory has always been one of my interests, along with other branches of mathematics.
