I used to help my granddaughter when she was in junior high and high school. We’d be working on some homework and she’d say.....how do you know all that? lol The thing that really amazed her was that I could do math in my head before she even got the problem written down on paper. I taught her my shortcuts.

I freaked out a youth a few years ago while visiting Fort Sumter. The Ranger asked a question "how many soldiers were needed to man the 17 cannons if each cannon needed 5 soldiers?"

Without hesitating I blurted out "85". The young man next to me asked "how did you know that?" lol
