Latvian Multiplication (in reference to recent serious post about Russian multiplication)

Here is how do Latvian multiplication. We not yet have American multiplication system, and we hate fucking Russian system, so we do proud Latvian multiplication system in Latvia.

**LATVIAN MULTIPLICATION**

To the example, Ludvigs, Mihails and Pavils argue how many potatoes have. Mihails want have 50 potato, but not sure how many potato have. Pavils math and Ludvigs drink.

**50 potato x 0 potato** (This is original problem need do for math. Now see math below.)

25 potato x 0 potato

12 potato x 0 potato

6 potato x 0 potato

3 potato x 0 potato

1 potato x 0 potato

Now sum right side column:

0+0+0+0+0+0=**0 potato**

So Mihails have zero potato, hungry and Latvia cannot afford American math system, but have independent country and proud mathematical system that superior to Russian Communist math.
