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.

DIRECTION CONVEYS TIME AND EMOTION
In advertising, art and photography, the direction the subject is looking or the flow of the composition can affect the tone of the image. Left is the past, right is the future, up is positive, down is negative. For example: a subject looking up and to the right is looking positively into the future.

ESTIMATING TIME & MONEY TO BUILD A BOAT
Construction of the first 50% of a home-built boat takes 90% of the initially estimated time and budget. The next 40% of the construction takes 90% of the initially estimated time and budget. The final 10% of the construction takes the remaining 90% of the time and budget. To Summarize: 50% + 40% + 10% = 270%
