Math weaknesses

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:

  1. 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?!
  2. Pizza deals
    Is it better to get the three mediums at $9.99, or two large at $16.99!?”
