She's always right :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-mental-math#post-401874 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 02:00:52 +0000 lovehoneybee 401874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Horrible at it. I have to sit and concentrate really hard to do anything beyond very simple addition (or figuring out things like tips). </p> <p>DH, on the other hand, is a math whiz, and can do all sorts of ridiculous math in his head. I count on my fingers sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-mental-math#post-401868 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 01:52:43 +0000 autumnlove 401868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No!

But most people who are good at math seem to be good at science and I'm most definitely NOT good at science (other than biology). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-mental-math#post-401802 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 01:04:11 +0000 808love 401802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey that is a great skill to have! I'm ok with rounding and multiplying but not exact numbers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-mental-math#post-401377 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:22:43 +0000 softcream 401377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm not REALLY good, but how difficult are we talking about? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-mental-math#post-401346 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:16:27 +0000 Bao 401346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh no I'm horrible!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-mental-math#post-401344 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:15:44 +0000 banana 401344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm horrible at it!! I always make my DH calculate everything for me. Except when it comes to calculating discount on sale items. I can do some crazy math when it comes to calculating x% off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-mental-math#post-401326 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:10:00 +0000 rawrasaur 401326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always been pitiful at mental math. I use DH as a calculator far too often because I don't trust myself to do the math correctly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-mental-math#post-401321 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:08:31 +0000 Smurfette 401321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No and I am an accountant.

It's kind of ridiculous considering I'm an engineer. I'd rather do calculus than add in my head :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-mental-math#post-401281 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:00:27 +0000 littlek 401281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm a math dork. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-mental-math#post-401279 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:00:04 +0000 MamaMoose 401279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not particularly. I think most people in our generation aren't because we grew up in the age of the calculator. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-mental-math#post-401278 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 20:59:59 +0000 heffalump 401278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I'm awful.

I'm REALLY good at solving math problems in my head.<br /> I even impressed my husband with my math skillz--and homey doesn't impress easily. </p>
