Cant believe I was today years old before knowing this - I’ve been testing it all afternoon 🤣

It would have been helpful to have known that prior to my maths GCSE.

I suspect, that for many, the “immediate stupidity” happened a while ago.

Everyone ever?

As a notorious bullshitter myself, naturally I took the trouble to check and then forgot to finish checking.

I'm ridiculously delighted by this revelation.

That's brilliant and glaringly obvious when you think about it but I've got to 63 without realising it, DOH!

I was taught this when I was at school (and I’m 67 now), so I’m thinking I had a really good Maths teacher.

Well of course they are. “of” means multiply.
BODMAS.

13% of 27…. Doesn’t help much.

Rounding is your friend here. It is similar to 25% of 14, which is a bit more than quarter of 12, call it 3.5

* I am a nerd though. The one I find very useful is "π is exactly 3", but that's mainly because it makes mathematicians cry...

Mr percentages knew.

Or Mrs or Miss. What do I know. I need a calculator for both.
