USING YOUR BRAINS
In a pinch, you can tan a skin with the brain of the animal that provides the skin. The brains are mashed and rubbed into the hide with a smooth rock. Conveniently, one deer brain is enough to tan one deer skin, and one mouse brain is enough to tan one mouse skin.

USE YOUR FINGERS TO MULTIPLY BY NINE
Hold your hands in front of you and bend the finger down that you want to multiply by nine. Count the fingers to the left and the right of the bent finger and combine them to produce the result. Eg: for 7 x 9, bend the fifth finger down, to the left there will be 6, and to the right there will be 3 fingers standing, thus 7 x 9 is 63.

WEAK TO STRONG SECURED ACCESS
For access to a secured asset, there are three categories of key: something you have (key/card), something you know (PIN, password), something you are (biometrics). A system using only one of these elements is considered weak, two is considered acceptable, three is strong.

CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR)
The number of chest compressions should be 100 per minute. A way to keep time is to sing the BeeGees' song "Stayin' Alive," which keeps that tempo. Oddly enough, another song with the same tempo is the Queen song "Another One bites the Dust."
