I am just dreadful at maths, it terrifies me, i was amazed i even got a cse grade 5.Evidently in the us 2 monkeys and 14 university students have pratically drawn in an arithmatic test.Well im sure a monkey could add up better than me.What about you.?
 
I'm really good at maths and love it. I've done maths at degree level and done it well!........However, I can't count for toffee! Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing - that's what calculators were invented for!
I bought my first calculator in 1974. It cost £5 (I was getting paid £60 a month gross then) and it could only do those 4 operations. It didn't even have a memory - that one cost £7. I bought it in the mens department in the local department store. They were all displayed on a stand above the gents trousers. No electronics/gagets departments in those days!

I'm known for my speed at mental arithmetic:)
 
I can work out VAT on things in my head but strangely my mental arithmetic is not quick.
 
I'd be totally lost without a calculator ... does that answer your question Gill?! :lol:
 
I prefer maths than english
but still need a pencil and paper to work sums out
 
Hated maths at school, still hate it with a passion, scares the hell out of me:irked:.

I failed my maths O level 4 times! Never got it - still can't add up even the simplest of sums lol my mind just goes blank as soon as I hear numbers but for some reason my son is a whizz at maths - must get it from his dad.
