I feel like this board is a safe space for discussing this!
I commented to my DH that 8x5 was the most satisfying part of the times tables. And that 4+5 is the best number bond!
I always found things like algebra and quadratic equations very soothing as you could just work your way through then. I didn't do any maths or science past GCSE so I am sure that I am missing out on lots of cool numbers!

I have a strong aversion to numbers that don't end .00
For example I cannot have any of my bank accounts with pence in them eg £123.45
It would have to ge £123.00 or ideally £120.00
I literally can't stand it, so will transfer the odd pence to my husbands account, or try and buy £23.45 of petrol to make it .00
I've done it since I was a child, I used to earn £19.88 at my Saturday job when I was 16 and pester my mum for 12p every week so I could pay a round £20.00 onto my account
I've never met anyone else who does it, maybe in their savings account but not in their current account
I avoid buying things that are not round pounds eg £1 £2 £10, as I messes up my account

@AlternativelyWired yes when I first started googling this and couldn’t find anything I was very confused. But maybe this is all common knowledge and I have just explained it badly! This contains pictures: www.hertsforlearning.co.uk/blog/when-number-not-number

Ooh yes! Love the 9x tables!

I think how the 9X table works is pretty neat!
