TRACHTENBERG SYSTEM - A WAY TO SOLVE MENTAL MATH FASTER!

-







Trachtenberg system is a system which helps us to perform very fast math calculations. It was invented by Jakow Trachtenberg, who was a famous Russian mathematician. He invented this system to distract himself when he was in a Nazi concentration camp. Okay, enough of that talk. Let's dive and check what the system is about. This system, as I told before, actually helps us to perform mental calculation faster. There are a set of pre-memorized calculations in this system, which is probably the secret of this system's accuracy and speed. According to the book "The Trachtenberg Speed System of Basic Mathematics", a boy used Trachtenberg method to solve 5132437201 times 452736502783 in just 70 seconds. This time, I'm not joking. Clearly, this system is very effective and fast. But sometimes one can get muddled up, for the method can sometimes be slightly confusing. But all in all, this method is very cool, fast and accurate.

So, how did this system help me? Well, I learn this system just few days back and so far it has not helped me a lot. But I am confident that I would be benefited a lot in a long run. So, just let me know how do you find this post. Boring? Well, I’m sorry. XD

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EARTH LOSES ITS GRAVITY?

  What would happen if Earth loses its Gravity? Well, there can be a lot of possibilities which can happen. The possibilities which I think would happen are listed below:                                                                1. Living on Earth would be out of question. Ouch, didn’t see that coming, did you? But there is a good explanation for that. Everything that makes Earth special such as water, air, plants etc would hover with us as there is no force to anchor them. With the unbalanced atmosphere pressure, our blood vessels would burst into shreds, causing internal bleeding. At that time, don’t think you can go to the hospitals like a normal day. Doctors are also human beings, remember? Also, there are a lots of other factors if we, human beings, manage to escape that. Take this as another ‘problem’ that we ca...

PHOBIA SERIES - EXTRA INFO

  Hey guys! Before we find our next fear, I thought of making this blog to make you aware of few things. Let’s get going!   Why being fearless sometimes helps?   Well, this is a good question. Being fearless sometime helps as if we were too fearless, we won’t be very cautious of the dangers lurking besides us. Let’s say if a person is very fearless of dark and he is walking into a dark cave, he won’t be cautious about his surroundings. If there was a big hole front of him, the person would casually walk into the hole and fall to death. If you were fearful of dark, you would be very cautious and would react to the tiniest of sounds. This would help the fearful to survive and fearless to die.   2. Why we are afraid of few things from birth?   Well, this is a very important question. For this answer, we need to go to thousands of years ago, where humans were hunter-gatherers. At that time, we need to know that our ancestors lived in deep jungles, where they encount...

RUBIK'S CUBE. TRICKS TO SOLVE IT FASTER.

-

  Rubik’s cube is one of the most famous puzzles in which people try competing each other for whom would solve the Rubik’s Cube faster. The world record of solving Rubik’s Cube fastest is currently held by Yusheng Du, who solved the 3 X 3 Rubik’s cube in just 3.47 seconds. Here are my few tips for anyone who wants to solve the Rubik’s Cube faster than he/she normally would.  1. Learn the steps using Algorithms. Instead of learning the sequence of moves, most of the cubers try to learn the moves by a sequence of letters called algorithms. An Algorithm, in terms of Rubik’s Cube, is an operation on the puzzle which reorients its pieces in a certain way. To describe operations on the Rubik's Cube we use the notation: we mark every face of the puzzle with a letter. Here are those symbols and their meanings: • F (Front): the side currently facing the solver • B (Back): the side opposite the front • U (Up...
