# Shortest distance between two jokes = A straight line

# 1024 Microphones = 1 megaphone
# 1024 piccolos = 1 gigolo

# 1024 planes = 1 terraplane
# 3 dents = 1 trident

# 3 1/3 tridents = 1 decadent

13 x 7 = 28 PROVED!!!

Check #1:
13
x 7
-----
21
+ 7
-----
28


Check #2:

13
---
7 /28
- 7
---
21
- 21
----
0



Check #3:
13
13
13
13
13
13
+ 13
------
28 (3+3+3+3+3+3+3) + (1+1+1+1+1+1+1)


In Check #1, multiply 7 x 3 to get 21. Then multiply 7 x 1 to get 7.
Then add 21 and 7 to get 28.

In Check #2, we check the multiplication problem by dividing one factor into the product.
Divide 7 into 2 but it doesn't go.
So divide 7 into 8 to get 1. Subtract 7 from 28 to get 21.
Now divide 7 into 21 to get 3.
So the answer is 13.

In Check #3, another way to check a multiplication problem is by addition.
To check if 7 x 13 = 28, we add seven 13s together.
