Forty days and forty nights, didn't it rain, children? Not a speck of land in sight, didn't it, didn't it rain? But Noah built the ark so tight, they sailed on, children. And when at last had the waters receded And the dove brought back the olive tree leaf He landed that ship near Mount Ararat And one of his children grabbed Noah's robe and said, "Hey dad, how many animals on this old ark anyway, huh?" Elementary, my dear, 2 x 2 is 4 Elementary, my dear, 2 x 3 is 6 Elementary, my dear, 2 x 4 is 8 Elementary, my dear, 2 x 5 is 10 2 x 1 is 2, of course , and it must occur to you You get an even number every time you multiply by 2 Elementary, my dear, 2 x 6 is 12 Elementary, my dear, 2 x 7 is 14 Elementary, my dear, 2 x 8 is 16 Elementary, my dear, 2 x 9 is 18 2 x 10 is 20 11 twice 22 Double 12 that's 24 13 twice is 26 14 twice is 28 15 twice is 30 Now you build it up on 30 16 twice is 32, elementary 17 twice is 34, elementary 18 twice is 36, elementary 19 twice is 38, elementary 20 twice is 40, and it must occur to you You can double any number, all you do is multiply by 2 Elementary, my dear, 2 x 2 is 4 Elementary, my dear, 2 x 3 is 6 Elementary, my dear, 2 x 4 is 8 Elementary, my dear, 2 x 5 is 10 Now, if you want to multiply 2 times 174, or some big number like that, 2 times 174 equals 2 times 100, plus 2 times 70, plus 2 times 4, that's all. So 2 times 174 equals 200, plus 140, plus 8, or, 348, it's elementary. Elementary, elementary Twice 32 is 64, elementary Twice 33 is 66, elementary Twice 34 is 68, elementary Twice 35 is 70, elementary Yeah, yes! It's elementary, yeah... Now, what's 2 times 98? Aww, that's hard! No, it's very simple 2 times 98 equals 2 times a 100, minus 2 times 2 That's 200 minus 4: 196 Elementary! Forty days and forty nights, didn't it rain, children?
