> It's rough watching kids try to multiply when they don't have their times tables memorized

As someone who never learned my multiplication tables – it’s fine. I have a few cached lookups and my brain is fast at factoring.

8*6? Oh that’s just 4*2*6= 4*12 = 48. Easy :)

Smart people can get away with tricks like that.
