I'm Not A Complete Muppet!
Some Brain Cells Remain, Apparently.
I am SO relieved...
I saw this math quiz over at the Anarchangel's place. I have to say, it filled me with consternation and a general feeling of dumbassery.
See, I've never been all that quick in math. Well, some of it I did OK in. I whizzed through Geometry. Business Math I aced. I kicked Statistics ass all over campus.
I also failed out of Algebra I. Twice. OK, the second time was because I refused to do homework, and was busy chasing Cindy Hathaway. But I digress...
Most of my fear came from 8th grade math, where I was never sure I had that fraction thing down, and the whole "solve for X" stuff seemed OK, but then those bastards rolled in Y & Z and square roots and irrational numbers and I just threw in the mental towel. Algebra just wasn't logical, and required a leap of faith that I was never able to perform.
So, I gritted my teeth, and took the quiz. Know what? It wasn't all that difficult.
Next step, digging up an old Algebra I book... Not!
