So do I actually, but I am (only slightly) hampered by lack of knowledge of anything more than elementary math with some algebra and trigonometry. I am always calculating things in my mind. I know for a fact that I make frequent silly errors in calculation (that is me and I am at peace with my own mind) and I keep cross checking to ensure that I get a consistent result for two or more consecutive iterations of solving a particular puzzle that I set myself. I love problems involving speed and movement which is why bullets and trajectory calculations fascinate me. A few weeks ago I spent a joyful few hours working out the physics of the internals of an air rifle that I took apart and adjusted to my liking, making careful measurements while I did that. (Bought a Vernier caliper just for that). But for me its a game. I love games. Maths should always be fun. Not forced labour. shiv
