This arrived in my Inbox recently.<\/p>\n

There is some nice symmetry in all of these:<\/p>\n

        1 x 8 + 1 = 9\r\n       12 x 8 + 2 = 98\r\n      123 x 8 + 3 = 987\r\n     1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876\r\n    12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765\r\n   123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654\r\n  1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543\r\n 12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432\r\n123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321\r\n\r\n\r\n        1 x 9 + 2 = 11\r\n       12 x 9 + 3 = 111\r\n      123 x 9 + 4 = 1111\r\n     1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111\r\n    12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111\r\n   123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111\r\n  1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111\r\n 12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111\r\n123456789 x 9 +10 = 1111111111\r\n\r\n\r\n       9 x 9 + 7 = 88\r\n      98 x 9 + 6 = 888\r\n     987 x 9 + 5 = 8888\r\n    9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888\r\n   98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888\r\n  987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888\r\n 9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888\r\n98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888\r\n\r\n\r\n        1 x 1 = 1\r\n       11 x 11 = 121\r\n      111 x 111 = 12321\r\n     1111 x 1111 = 1234321\r\n    11111 x 11111 = 123454321\r\n   111111 x 111111 = 12345654321\r\n  1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321\r\n 11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321\r\n111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321<\/pre>\n
And now for the most important part of learning - and life generally...<\/p>\n
Giving 100%<\/h2>\n
If:<\/p>\n
A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ... , z = 26,<\/p>\n
then:<\/p>\n
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E\r\n\r\n= 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 \r\n\r\n= 96%<\/pre>\n
And:<\/p>\n
H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K\r\n\r\n= 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 \r\n\r\n= 98%<\/pre>\n
But to arrive at 100%, we need:<\/p>\n
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E\r\n\r\n= 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 \r\n\r\n= 100%<\/pre>\n
