Two Types of Multiplication

there are two types of people in multiplication 6 x 9 = 54 if 6 x 10 is 60 then 60 - 6 = 54 so 6 x 9 = 54

The meme contrasts a straightforward person who knows that 6 × 9 equals 54 with a galaxy-brained person who reaches the same answer through an unnecessarily elaborate calculation. It is used as a reaction to overthinking a simple problem or finding a convoluted justification for an obvious result.
