80 words, I think!

.

I’m useless at mathematics. Simple sums, no problem. 3 times 5 equals 12. 6 minus 2 equals 3. Complicated ones, I estimate not calculate!

I received a 21st birthday card when I thought I was 23. I once needed half-a-dozen eggs but only found boxes of 6. Next year will be 2000 and…something. 

Let’s test your maths. What’s 156 plus 651?  Correct! (I assume!)

There, you have my 80 words – no, there are 77? 

Word, word, word.

Sorted! I think.

      There are three types of people, those can add up and those that can’t! Thanks. Nancy!

    That was stage material. Lol…I’m horrible with math too. I have a keen eye for measuring, somehow. May be that I know how to read a ruler or that I’m an artist. That other stuff scares me.

      I get confused by rulers, small numbers along one edge and big numbers on the other!

      Thnk you, Sadje, I surprised myself with some of those calculations!

      • Sadje's avatar Sadje September 29, 2024 / 17:41

        Haha! I was very surprised too- 5×3 = 12 🤣🤣🤣

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings September 30, 2024 / 17:41

      Easy peasy! Btw, why was six afraid of seven? Because seven, eight, nine!

      • Dale's avatar Dale September 30, 2024 / 18:25

        A golden oldie!
