13 Squared
(I have no idea why I never pictured this before)
10×10=100
10×3 =30
10×3 =30
3×3 =9
——-
100+30+30+9=169
13 Squared is 169
Okay, okay, I know I’m a giant word nerd & have always been prone to nodding off with all things numerical, but I never really developed this particular mental picture…Cool!

Lots more fun at the New Thursday 13

Scrambled, Not Fried 
Einstein said that he would just quietly muse and the numbers would dance in his head. Very clever T13 puzzle.
It’s rocket science Greek to me. I have dyscalculia.
Now you’ve got me drawing squares all over my notebooks and putting numbers in them. It works – but you have ruined my morning!
Love it! This actually helps me understand squaring better! This could be a common core math problem. LOL!
I’m with Colleen – Greek to me. But I greatly admire your wit and intelligence.
so cool
