If you're anything like us, then typing the word 'Boobs' is the first port of call when picking up any calculator. It's '58008', by the way. Oh, and you'll have to turn the calculator upside down. Anyway, on with something more serious.

Did you know that 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321?

At first glance, this doesn't seem to be anything special, but notice that's a multiplication symbol not an addition one. This simple change enables everyone to marvel at the sequence of numbers shooting up from 1-9 before traversing back down towards 1 again. Beautiful.

This is the kind of useless fact that makes someone look like they really know something about mathematics. Follow the trusty 'Boob' trick up with this sum and watch those compliments fly in like never before.
