Low Multiplicative Complexity — LowMC

Let’s take six numbers: 6, 3, 10, 5, 9 and 3. We want you to multiply pairs of numbers and then add them. For this most of us we would compute 18, 50 and 27, and then add these to get 95. The multiplication part had three operations and the add was just a single operation. If we do this for many pairs we can see the computation gets more timely for the multiplication, and the end part is perhaps still just a single addition.
