@futurebird I have the weirdest thing with this.

When I had to learn those multiplications my mom would question me for practice. I always forgot the answer to 7*8.

One day we were in the living room and the TV remote was on the table. Remember the numbers on that:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

So I saw 7 and 8 on there, and the right answer just above. It clicked in my head.

So whenever I have to multiply 7 and 8 I see a TV Remote in my head. We don't even own a TV, I havn't had one since 2001.
