I thought I was lousy at math, but compared to these people maybe I'm not that lousy.

I am shocked that you're shocked that so many are shocked.

I had the correct answer in three seconds. I hated math as a kid. I hated most of my classes. When I started to like math (or arithmetic) was when I figured out little tricks that made it easier. I know that half of the three place number is 250 and half of the two place number (sitting on top of the three place number) is 25. You stir for one minute with a wooden spoon and you get 275.
Actually I just glanced at it and knew the answer. There are other math problems that even though I know the answer it highly pi***** me off that it comes out that way.

8x10x10x10x10x10 is 800,000
This should be easy
8x9x9x9x9x9 should equal 799,995 Right? Guess again.

The answer is the goofy number of, 472,392
That's why I hated math.
