> For mental math, it often helps to change the problem to a bunch of easy steps. To do 18x31, which is ugly if not hard, the first step would be 20x31=620, then 2x31=62, then 620-62=600-42=560-2=558.

Which is EXACTLY the way I did it, too! I did it myself before looking at how you did it, and it fits right down to every little step.
