New math? My old math says 71/4 = 17.75. lol

O/T, we went to Fort Sumter a few years ago. The Park Ranger was explaining the manning for the 17 gun batteries there. He asked, how many soldiers were needed if it takes 5 men to man a battery?

In an instant, I said matter of factly, "85". I got more than a few quizzical glances from teens there, like "how did you know that?"
