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.?
Are you an arithmetic clever clogs ?

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!
