Beautiful Maths !

Mathematics has always been my out of favour. I could never love it for its insipid taste. Any subjects like history, geography , literature or other science subjects had a picturesque approach to me. But arithmetics with all its jumbles posed something hard to digest. Off late, I found some beautiful formulas in simple arithmetical calculations. Repent, in our days they were missing, lest I too could find some interest in the subject. Here I let you have some beautiful formation of mathematical jumbles , hope it will be liked by all and encourage few to proceed further for newer formulas. 1 x 8 + 1 = 9 12 x 8 + 2 = 98 123 x 8 + 3 = 987 1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876 12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765 123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654 1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543 12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432 123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321 1 x 9 + 2 = 11 12 x 9 + 3 = 111 123 x 9 + 4 = 1111 1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111 12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111 123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111 1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111 12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111 123456789 x 9 +10= 11111111...

Do you know how cocktail came into being?

The owner of an American bar had a large ceramic container in the form of a rooster. The container was filled with the leftovers from drinks. The less affluent could get a drink from this container, served from a tap at the tail. Hence, the name cocktail became associated with a mix of drinks. Some say the quality was always high after English sailors had been in, as there was a good mixture of rum, gin and brandy in the cocktail.

A joke

It was just few months after independence, of our country India'; The British were still there; however Indian were quite free to interact with them with the spirit of their freshly earned freedom. In a first class compartment of long distance train, a British and on Sarderji ( a Sikh, by faith, usually they are prominent with their turban) were traveling . The British was as usual in his grave composure, but the Sardarji was enthusiastic. He wanted to open some dialog with the fellow passenger. Thinking for a while, he just asked " what is your name, sir?" The British replied breaking his silence, Robert Bruke. Then he asked the Sardarji, " what is your name?'. The Sardar retorted, Kuldip Singh Dhilon. The surprised British asked, "Kuldip is your name, Dhilon is your surname, then what is Singh?" The Sardar replied " Jistara towda King, ustara sadda Singh !"
