    You have to admit though it's a weird old thing, the brain :eek: I can't do much past simple sums......but I have oodles of legislation stored in my head and can access most of it pretty rapidly :rotfl:

    Legislation! :eek:

    You must be as much fun at a party as I am :beer:

    Another person I worked with was colour blind which may have been a problem as we were printing at the time :rotfl:
    But I could not get my head around why it would be a problem because for example we will say grass is green if he saw it as a particular shade of grey that is ok because to him that is green. When he sees it again he knows that its green and it is to him.

    Feel free to enlighten me folks as no one swayed me from this way of thinking :cool:
    How do we all know that we see the same colour at traffic lights, is the red I see the same as the red you see. I understand the light is the same but do we all see it the same?

    This is what I tried to say to you about 3D viewing the other night!! I can't, I had measles as a toddler which resulted in a squint in my eye. The squint was corrected but still left me with a lazy eye, both eyes need to work together to see in 3D, mine don't.....I never saw the stupid 3D pics in the 90s and I can't see 3D films now, and I never will :(......but life goes on ;)

    Same maths teacher also gave us a brainteaser. He asked us to count up all the numbers from 1 to 100 and said it should be possible for each of us to do it in a few seconds and with no calculator. Any ideas how?
    Do you mean 'add up' the numbers from 1 to 100?
    1+100=101
    2+99=101
    3+98=101
    ...
    49+52=101
    50+51=101

    or, put another way, 50 x 101 = 5050

    "50x50"

    Nope

    "or simply 100 numbers"

    Nope, and if you mean you think it is a trick question and that the answer is "there are 100 numbers from 1 to 100" then you're wrong ;)

    i'm looking for the sum of all numbers from 1 to 100
