SHORTCUTS
Each program trick contains a
section describing the shortcut method.
The steps are numbered and are correlated to the
numbered steps in the EXAMPLE section.
Notice that the sample problem on the HOME page is a
sum of two squares.
However, the two numbers are special:
a) the outer numbers total
10 (i.e. 1 + 9 = 10) &
b) the inner numbers differ by
1 (i.e. 4 = 3 + 1)
This trick will only work on summing the squares of two
numbers with the two properties above.

1) Square A
2) Square B 3) Sum the
squares 4) Multiply by 101
