1. Got it immediately but I'm good at math

Math is quicker if done left to right.
Multiply the tens then the 1's add together.

5. Right. That's why Germans are better at math than we are.

They say one and twenty, not twentyone. Etc.

I understand that Chinese makes it even easier to learn math.

9. The 2nd time I was in Taiwan, in 1999,

a 5 year old was teaching me how to use an abacus !!

3. My son got it in 2 seconds!

It took me longer, but not much longer. A bunch of idiots!!

Quick! Add 10X6 + 7X6. 60 + 42. 102.

Not that hard you losers!

4. yep

this is when they were fresh out of college

6. I did somewhat backwards but had it before Don Jr began his "did-dit-dits" . . .

20x6 - 3x6 = 102

From the second grade I've rounded to the nearest ten then either added or subtracted based on which direction I went.

But then, my Dad couldn't get me bus fare to make it anywhere near Wharton (or any school in California).

96? 94? Does he have a clue what the product of 7x6 is? Or for Trumps does it also depend on what the definition of is, is?

7. Where is Eric, the smart one??

8. No equal signs in post titles apparently

It's tough when put on the spot like that but it's doable.

MBA math is mostly done in spreadsheets and formulas.

6*10=60. 6*7=42. 60+42=102
