Schoolhouse Rock: How you spread it around

Nine hungry men, had six dollars each
That’s 54 bucks but they were out of luck
Because 54 bucks won’t buy dinner downtown
Not for nine

Then there were six hungry men
They had nine dollars each
And they went downtown and the waiter said “Sit down!”
Oh, it makes a big difference how you spread it around

Schoolhouse Rock, 1973. Teaching multiplication, dropping truth bombs.
