Born in the wrong era - The series

This is the first of the many utterly and thoroughly useless inventions and discoveries I’ve made over the last 23 years….which, I guess, would have made me a very eminent personality, had I existed, maybe somewhere in the Stone Age. Please note, in case you use it for any profit, you ought the share the spoils with me…THIS IS COPYRIGHT MATERIAL!!!!!

Calculator Square Addition Law ( CSA law).

We all know how the numbers are arranged in a calculator. For those who do not know what a calculator looks like or how numbers are arranged in it...here's a sample



  1. The first step is to select any number with more than one digit ( by number i mean an integer. Also make sure that there is no zero in the number). eg. say 123.
  2. Then choose the addition operator. ( Punch the "+" button)
  3. Now turn the calculator upside down and re-arrange the numbers so that they are arranged in the original format as shown in the pic. ( Note: this arrangement should be done in your head...do not try to remove the buttons of the calculator).
  4. Now retype the same number. earlier we had chosen 123. So now when we retype 123 in our imagined re-arranged calculator, we would be punching 987 in the real calculator.
  5. Hit the "=" button.

In our example here the answer would turn out to be 1110. Now here's essence of my law: The result of the entire operation will have only 1 zero and a number of ones in the answer. The zero will always occupy the units place. The number of ones are determined by the number of digits in the original number you've chosen.

Note: For the law to work, you HAVE to choose an integer with more than one digit and with no zeros in it.

More crap from my creative stables in subsequent posts.
