Beethoven never knew how to multiply or divide

[Tedday2223]

The renowned pianist went to a Latin school called Tirocinium, where he was taught some math but never learned multiplication or division—only addition. Once, when he needed to multiply 62 by 50, he wrote 62 down a line 50 times and added it all up.

That's hilarious! Imagine trying to multiply 62 by 50 that way. No wonder he never learned multiplication.
