Step one is to add the following: 1/64 1/32 1/16 1/8 1/4 1/2 ------- 63/64 ------- How long did it take you to add them.? _1__minutes and___seconds. Roughly a minute. I had to convert all of the numbers to 64ths and then add them up. I believe (if my addition is correct) the answer is 63/64th Do not scroll down further until you have done the problem and answered the question with your best recollection of the time needed to answer. Be fair now! Now add the following: 1 2 4 5 6 7 ----- 25 ----- How long did it take you to add them? _____minutes and __15___seconds. Do not scroll down until you have done the problem and answered the question with your best recollection about the time needed to answer. Be fair now! After you have done both and filled in the blanks, just hit "reply" and send it back to me. Then we can talk about it via email or telephone, whichever you prefer.
