re: #286 NY Nana

Silly! ;) I also used my 10 fingers and 10 toes. It became difficult when it was anything over the number 20, though!

Never took a typing course. Too lazy!

That’s pretty good. Actually I was taught a “new” approach to math which involved first an abacus and then graduated to counting multiples with the use of fingers. A difficult math problem still has my fingers flying about.

This new approach (6th grade, a time and place far, far ago) resulted in my getting my hands literally whacked in other schools for years after.

It worked damn it!
