Why cross method of multiplication or vedic method of multiplication works?

It is evident the truth remains eternal even though you have many ways to reach it.

With that quote .. So one perspective of the famous vedic method of multiplication can be broken down as follows:

let there be two 2 digit numbers  , say       12     and  21   , so writing with their place values, we get (10+2)  and (20+1)  , so if we watch the operation we do in (a+b)(c+d)  is  ac+ad+bc+bd , the same holds good for any numbers. The application of  (a+b)^2 for square of a number is also a simplified version of the above notion.


SO the cross multiplication method isn't that spooky , right?

Create One-Click Shutdown and Reboot Shortcuts

First, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing New, and then choosing Shortcut. The Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown. After you create the shortcut, double-clicking on it will shut down your PC. But you can do much more with a shutdown shortcut than merely shut down your PC. You can add any combination of several switches to do extra duty, like this: shutdown -r -t 01 -c "Rebooting your PC" Double-clicking on that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and display the message "Rebooting your PC." The shutdown command includes a variety of switches you can use to customize it. Table 1-3 lists all of them and describes their use. I use this technique to create two shutdown shortcuts on my desktop—one for turning off my PC, and one for rebooting. Here are the ones I use: shutdown -s -t 03 -c "Bye Bye m8!" shutdown -r -t 03 -c ...
