Actually, I didn't know it 'cause I answered a newspaper add for the job. During the interview, they threw some prices at me, had me add up the totals & calc the tax. Easy, really.
Originally posted by my csvt: i have never seen anyone do math faster or more accurately than he did. when we were young sometimes we would grab a calculator and try to beat him to the answer. he was in his seventies before he lost.
My dad used to be able to do that. Just look at a column of 25 or so 3 & 4 digit numbers & spew out the correct result in seconds. AMAZING!
