Brilliant, isn’t it?
And finally, take a look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=123456789 87654321

Rocky Balboa : Exhibition not Execution [read Elimination]

Bookmark and Share

The latest franchise to get bitten by Sequel bug is “Rocky” series starring Sly Stone. “Rocky Balboa” is the final one [I hope]. From the cuts it pains to see Sly’s character is now old and still craves for more rounds on the rope. I guess the franchise would have been more profitable if Rocky was to become a colourful manager like Don King and bring fresh talent in for fights. Anyways here are the cuts.
