Ram Gets Full Marks in Maths

Once upon a time there lived a boy called Ram, who was very poor in Maths. One day there was a Maths test, but he was not bothered.

However, Ram was the class teacher's favorite student - because he was very good in all other subjects.

The class teacher requested the Maths teacher to make an easy question paper for Ram. The Maths teacher was angry because she not happy with Ram, but she said:

"OK, I will make an easy paper for Ram - I will given him only one table to write".

The test started and Maths teacher told Ram to write the most difficult "table of nine". Ram remembered that Maths M'am had told that the number is always the same in the first answer (times one). So, he got the first answer - 9. Similarly, he got the last answer - 90. Then he thought:
"I don't know what to write now".

He wanted to get out fast - from Second answer, he just wrote 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. For the second digit, he wrote backwards - 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

It looked like this:

9
18
27
36
45
54
63
72
81
90

He gave his answer sheet to M'am, who was surprised that all answers were correct and he got full marks in Maths.

Moral: Maths is an easy subject
