That reminds me of fifth or sixth grade before we had learned algebra and we had math word problems. You had to somehow intuitively solve them by inspection and brute-force trial and error. In your head and on paper without a computer.

I carried a tiny circular slide rule in my pocket, so that each time I got a new quiz score or homework grade or test score, I could quickly calculate how close I was to the magic 90% needed for an "A". Did this for most classes in HS.

I was a true nerd before the word was even being used.
