Okay, that’s about the extent of my math skills, so you must be right!

Too easy. You just have to slow down and do the math.

Re: Ready for a quiz?
I was always lousy at straight math and even worse at word math problems.
The calculator is my friend with the first and I am still lost with the second.
But somehow I've managed to survive for 69 years. Or is it 68? Damn math!!
I was born on a wooden boat that I built myself.

The fun things is - no calculator, no pencilNpaper, required. It's just a matter of whether you can slow down enough to think them through. Type 2 thinking requires a facility with 'shifting gears', not a facility with algebra.

Looks like I am one of the elite 17%. Could never manage algebra though.
Main thing is not to rush.

Algebra!?
Easy. I 'see' it. Always have. There's been too many times I got marked down 'for not showing my workings'. But, I cried, it's obvious!
