    These are tricks that work on specific use cases ( multiply by 11 or square ending in 5 ). So nice trick, but doesn’t generalise. Learning a ton of tricks to deal with individual cases is not much better than just calculating it the “standard way”
    I assume they can be proved by expanding a number in its digit expansion e.g. xyz =100x+10y+z and then doing algebra , expanding brackets, collecting terms etc

      From experience, don't get stop even if it is difficult. You should draw out the set of steps of your programs, you do it using pseudo code and diagrams. And remember it's what effort that gets you from point A to B. Use every resource out there, even chat got but tell you explain the code. Why does it work. Perseverance and effort is what makes you learn anything. Stay at it don't give up

    Stuff like " A cwt of potatoes cost ÂŁ5/6/8, so how many lbs do I need to sell to make an 87% profit?"
