5. Trick - More Multiplication

This trick is an extension of the previous trick. It empowers you to multiply two numbers that can be expressed as z|y and z|(10-y).

The result of multiplication of the two numbers is z(z+1)|y(10-y)

To illustrate by an example,

37 * 33 = 3(3+1)|7*3 = 1221
141 * 149 = 14(15)|1*9 = 210|09 = 21009

Hmm... what do you say? Isn't maths really a fun! Hmm....
