***Ever try casting out 9's?***

Oh, heck, we did casting out nines in highschool math in the 1940s. I learned to do it, but I've always wondered what good it did. I add by tens instead. Care to explain?

Not really, just a trollish comment to see if anyone else remembered casting out as a check for errors.
