I wonder if they were any better at internalizing large numbers. That’s something we really stink at, one of the reason our government gets to get away with so much crap, those budget numbers don’t really mean much to us. Once you get past about 20 of something the human brain just kind of writes it off as “a lot” and moves on. For then “20” was 120 for us, wonder if that helped them, or if they were in a fog long before they got to “10”.

Summer invented compounding interest and usury yes I’d say they were very good with numbers.
