  2. Notice the way the individual values are added.
  3. This method uses the concept of (a + b +c +…)2 =  a2 +  b2 + c2 + … 2ab + 2bc + 2ac + … (It is a simplified version of the Multinomial Theorem)

    Best I can tell for 5 digits you list 2(a x e) + 2(b x d) + e^2
    but you mean for the last term to be + c^2
    as that is what you do with the actual numbers.

      Yes, you are right. the e^2 should really be c^2.
      We will fix the video.
      Thanks for pointing out the error.
