I've always been bad at (or uninterested in) straight math, rote numbers, but reasonably adept at throwing out estimations, approximations or guesses and being surprisingly close to the mark.
This New York Times article suggests the two manners of math are more closely related than I thought. So why do struggle with middle-school math? Could be disinterest, after all. (But I'm totally interested in what contribution fish make to the ocean's temperature.)
And for the record, I scored 92% on their little test, after 25 trials. There's not a whole lot to do in this nursing home, when George isn't feeling talkative.
