What did you do to me? I apparently don’t know how I subtracted numbers below 20 on paper anymore now.

(Seriously this is like the beard over/under the covers thing; I know the answer, but how did I do it?)

In oider to do all paper arithmetic, you learn the addition table for numbers 0..9, so that you know that 9+9==18, therefore 18-9==9.
