Surely Knot That Many

Now a days, there are so many distractions,
And computers to figure our transactions!
It comes to mind,
We just may find,
Seven out of five people are bad at fractions!

Here's to fractured fractions, Pat. I think I'm going to call you 'The Good Humor Man!' You're doing a great job of filling that bill. Best wishes, Gershon

Pat, I often worry about the ability of today's students to do much without technology. Enjoyed your use of humor to point out this troubling problem. Best wishes, Carolyn

The day I can't do simple math to determine what 20% off would be for a purchase, it's time to hang it up. I don't even know how to use an App. Need to rent a teen to help. But as you say, the graphics are great.

Well, that's a good point. I was here when we first had home computers and they were programmable. I got back in to algebra, with formulas and what not. Now, years later it's all app's and push a button for your answer! Man, the graphics are sure great though!..........80)

Sounds like me in pre-algebra, looking for uncommon denominators!

I liked Geometry but not Algebra much. Didn't see how it would relate to anything I would do in life. When programmable home computers first came out, I realized I should have paid more attention. I was still able to make over a hundred games on it though!......80)

Are you a Robin Williams fan. I’m curious as the name Pat Adams is close to Patch Adams which is one of my favourite Robin William’s movies.

Absolutely, but that's not why I was named Pat. My name is Roger Patrick Adams. My dad's name was Roger, so they called me Pat. When my little brother came along they named him Mike, after the old Irish Pat and Mike Jokes that were going around at the time!.....destiny maybe?!!.......80)
