I kept losing track adding up the different figures, 7 times 4000, 7 times 700 etc, then adding all those figures together. Same with the division. I did eventually get there. I admit I checked my figure with a calculator to be sure I was right. We didn't have calculators at school until form 6, last year of high school. We had to learn to to add up with our minds. My father who was a aircraft design engineer taught me to use a slide rule in primary school however I never used it at school. At the Mt.Hotham darts competition, they called me the human calculator, as each dart went in I would add up the scores instantly, doubles, triples, as the third dart went in I usually announced the score. I loved math at school. A mathematician believes that proving something mathematically makes that statement true. It also provides an explanation/ understanding as to why you came to that conclusion. I forgot most of my higher math decades ago. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, no pen and paper, you must do it in your head. Less than 2 percent of people in this thread can do it. It took me about 5 minutes but I did it. I come from a time where we did everything by hand in school. We didn’t use calculators. So it wasn’t as hard for me. But most likely the kids today will never be able to do it. You start by putting the 7 underneath the 4733 and multiply. In my mind I could do that in 30 seconds. 33,131. The division was the hardest. I had to remember a few numbers going back to my long division days. So that took most of the time. 8,282.75. Then adding the 37.50 took 5 seconds. 8,320.25. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot most of my higher math decades ago. I remember at UBC my favourite course was Calculus. Some of the answers to a question took 2-3 pages to answer. It was very challenging but for me I loved the challenge and it was fun and exciting. I still remember my professor. He was as blind as a bat. I always sat at the top rows in a class of 200. He had these huge glasses on. He had to bring the book 3 inches from his face to see it. Was hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not making excuses however I have already mentioned on this board the cognitive issues I have in relation to all the concussions I have experienced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was all on me, the bad decisions I made. What really rubs salt into that wound is I, like everyone else at that time, was entitled to a free University education. This ended in 1989. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bone Spurs graduated from the Wharton School of Business. It is ranked higher than MIT and Harvard for its MBA program. In the 1960’s you didn’t use a calculator so everything was done by hand and memory. Bone Spurs also had lots of time to study as he got a deferment from military duty for the Vietnam War as you well know. So I actually do believe he could do it.

To divide by four, you imagine its an ounce of weed and you want make 4 quarters. An ounce of weed is 28 grams. 7 grams in a quarter so 33 would be just under 8. It would be 7.89 or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
