OK, if you are one of the few with that kind of math wiz, I know - and I am not.

But rest assured, I know they are very few.

I can do rough calculations of rather complex matters incl. sums and substracts, multiplies and divisions and then arriving within +/-2% of the correct result rapidly without use of paper or anything else outside my brains. I use a combo of what I already told you, percentage (fractional) up/down head computing techniques and then rounded up by Intuition for result fine tune.

Works well.

One of my sons is a math wizard and did a lot better than me at that in college.
But he doesn't know how to do what I described above.
