Question of the Day

QOTD 04/19/12

Can you calulate basic maths in your head or do you reach for a calculator?

(we call it maths not math) :)

My head goes blank at the instant thought of numbers,
I have a big calculator next to my desk and use my phone when I'm out. Either that or I shout for Louis. He's my human calculator.

Well, I can do it. And if I'm in no hurry, I'm doing pretty ok... but if I'm feeling stress... it's not all that easy... :)

In my head - I'm an engineer and we weren't allowed to use calculators in school like kids are nowadays - plus I figured it will keep me young :)

If it's a huge column of numbers then I grab the calculator!

I'm horrible at math. Awful. I know better than to even try!

Yes, I can do basic math but will still reach for a calculator if possible. :)

Basic math I'm alright...anything a little tricky and I write it out or use a calculator! :)
