3 rules that unlock everything

1. Cien vs ciento. Only "cien" when it's exactly 100 or before mil/millones (cien mil). Otherwise ciento: ciento uno, ciento cincuenta.
2. Uno → un / una. Before a noun, "uno" shortens to "un" (masc) or "una" (fem): treinta y un libros, cincuenta y una sillas.
3. Hundreds agree in gender. Doscientas chicas, trescientas pesetas. The hundreds change ending; the tens and ones don't.
