Though I suppose it would be hard to tell otherwise, I think I’m a reasonably intelligent person. Still, there are two areas where I have a kind of learned helplessness and completely fail to grasp basic math:
- Time-zones and daylight saving time changes
“Ok, the clock says 9 am, but what time is it really?”
“Is Europe in the future or the past?!“ - Pizza deals
“Is it better to get the three mediums at $9.99, or two large at $16.99!?”
