It sounds like a terrific horse!

And no, I’m not a natural at math. I had to practice, practice, practice, just as my unfortunate Offspring will.

Me, too. However, if you fiddle around w/it long enough, you can find interesting stuff. For instance, I fooled around w/a maximization problem for two or three hours one time trying to figure out how to check my answer (had graphics calculator but we couldn’t use those w/exams). Turns out that if you draw a straight line between the coordinates, you just draw the perpendicular bisector of that line through the point of origin, and you’ll have the coordinates for the maximization. It only works for rectangles, though.
