When I saw the title I thought you were talking about how the Chinese have such a high birth rate.

I don't get how you know what lines to count.

You count the intersections. It's based on the principle of rectangles. If I have a rectangle with a width of 2 and a length of 3 then I have 6 square units inside my rectangle. If I have a larger multiplication to do I can just make a whole bunch of rectangles (a set for each power of ten) and add their area's together.

Haha I clicked this hoping to see how these chinese people reproduce so much, but I got this . Its a neat way how to multiply but doing it in my head seems much easier.

Weird I wonder how they figured that out.

Haha, me too!

On Topic, that's amazing! I'm going to show this to my teacher tomorrow, not gonna show my friends/peers as would totally call me a nerd.

That's pretty awesome. I don't get what order you go in though and how you know what intersections to group.
