No wonder why when I'm trying to sleep my mind is just like 'haha no. Here, this is how you could've solved question 15 on your test' but during the test it's like 'Ching Chong, llama llama ding dong'
Ok, for the math, it is the same as 259 x 39 x your age, which is the same as 10,101 times your age.
Whatever one digit number you enter in as your age multiplies the one, yet does nothing to the zero. This means that the one will become whatever number you chose, and the zero remaining.
A two digit number. Any two digit number multiplied by one is still two digit, only making the number crossover to the next digit, which is zero. Now, the second digit of the number is in the one's spot and the first in the 0's.
A three digit number now. The trick no longer works. 100 to 199, there are three numbers, meaning one of the numbers will be carried to the next one's spot, messing up the pattern. Now, it is the first (hundreds) number added with the next (thousands) number, which is the last number of the age inserted. Say you put in 142. Using the original formula, each number gets two spots:
142
142
+ 142
Giving you 1,434,342, which ruins the pattern because joined #s
The same pattern works for any amount of 10s, such as 10, 1010, 10101010101010101010, and so on
It's a cool trick, but simple that anyone with a proper basis of multiplication should know
I WAS SITTING WITH MY ENTIRE FAMILY AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT WOULD BE IN THIS LINK AND I HAD AN EPPISODE OF EXPLOSIVE LAUGHTER AND THIS IS THE REASON I HAVE TRUST ISSUES
I just typed this comment.

I'm 19 and I got 189696
Edit: Yep, I accidentally did 256 not 259
103
103

So you got 1040403
