54x59

(x+4)(x+9)

x^2+13x+36

2500+650+36

3186

EASY

50x59=2950+4x59=236 = 3186

9s are nice because 1s and 10s are nice.

54 x 59 =

6 x 9 x (60 - 1) =

6 x 6 x 10 x (10 - 1) - 6 x 9 =

3600 - 360 - 54 =

3600 - 414=

3186

I wasn't aware that multiplication was the decisive test of Dummy-hood.

I have this really cool device called a calculator and if you put in the expression it gives you an answer

I like #6. This way is cute too:

(60 - 1) x (60 - 6) =

3600 - 420 + 6 =

3186

There's no elegance to converting a decimal number to binary, doing 6-bit long multiplication and then converting back to decimal.

54 x 60 >> 3000 + 240 -54 = 3186.

Nice. Mine was

(54 ÷ 2 x 100 = 2700) + (54 x 10 - 54 = 486)

These days it's more of an app. Is that cooler?

I do not have enough money to buy that many beads. Plus, counting them would take to long
