Multiplication, zero-brains! How do you function in the real world? Oh that's right you're a flower child who lived in a tree or something.

Listen up, because I'm about 2 take you 2 school. Elementary school! Class is in session.

Multiplication. Think of it this way, yoctogram. Let's use 2 x 2. You read that "two times two". You can also read it as "two groups of two." We'll use something you're familiar with; rocks!! On one side, you have two rocks in one group. On the other, you have two rocks in another group. How many rocks are there total?

It's FOUR, yoctogram! 2 groups of 2 objects, the total = 4!!

It works the same if you have... say... 3 groups with 3 objects in each. How many is that then? You have 2min to answer!!

everyone in Kokiri Forest lives in trees

um three groups of three

Heh! You did it. Let me pose a hypothesis; you used paper.

yes

but it worked

Hehe. I'm feeling generous today. I have a present for you, to bring your intelligence up from the absolute minimum.
