This is a question Old stuff I still know

Our Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

I know...
...my 99 times table.

Well, a formula that allows me to tell you the answer of x times 99 (where x is less that 100) instantaneously.

I taught it to myself when I was in my teens and it's not "times it by a hundred then subtract..."

Useless in most situations, but one day someone will need to know 74 x 99 and I will tell them with no hesitation or pause for breath, that it is 7,326

One day you might learn the meaning of "instantaneously".
