I agree with the last method, nothing can compete with a good calculator.
When in real life are you going to do it by hand?

and also on some tests and alike you cant use a calculator.
and it'll be good to say to your kids that, we never had a calculator in our mobile phone-hairdryer-bicycle-personal organizer-virtual assistant's back when we were growing up.

Not bragging or anything, but I've never needed to resort to a calculator or methods like in the clip.
That said, it is clever |

I wonder how many times you have been scammed with incorrect change at the pub or where ever because you can't work out the price of 3 beers and 3 rums and how much change from $50? |

It's similar in theory to how a Chinese abacus works.

I,m not sure, but I think thats an old method known as "Napier's Rods".
Learned something similar in primary school , well before calculators existed.
