Oh, no way. It is hard enough for me to do math in my head, but I just got lost at the speed the numbers were flying around there. Holy smokes!

They are very fast, wish I was that good.... My Mum was very good at maths, sadly I did not take after her....

My solution was to use gloves. I could get to 20 before taking off my shoes and socks.

Unbelievable! Maybe we should be using this method in American schools and take away their calculators.

Whew! I thought I was the only one who had to do that.

It's a wonder that they didn't keep coming up with the number one - you know the middle finger as the answer!
