I just completed your interesting survey because you speak the truth and I'm bored.

What is the purpose of that survey?

To see if there is a correlation between unnecessary complicating mathematical procedures with an increase in mathematics studied.

What do you mean???
I feel hurt
Sorry, I'm experimenting with wielding negative energy and it is incredibly draining as most observed.

Forgive me MilkyCat_ (and leehuan) for have I sinned,

On Sunday, 20th of March 2016, around 20:17, I let my mind wander away from the important short-term memories while I made that confident post "Hi, how are you? Are you as mindless as the other fools I've talked to?"

Have mercy on me.

If you try hard enough there's always one.
Maybe they just don't know it yet

It depends on what they study and their aptitude on mental arithmetic. There is a common misconception that if you undertake math in tertiary education then you are proficient in mental arithmetic. I know people who are horrible in doing basic arithmetic but can delve into extremely abstract concepts and un-pack them successfully.

I suggest adding an option to choose what kind of math they learnt or what area is most focused on.

On the note of BLIT's survey

I'm not sure if it applies to everyone but for me, I also have some mental arithmetic tricks

19*40=20*40-19
Fibonacci numbers I can recite off by heart up to 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89
25 times tables are quite easy up to 25*40
Can square root any integer perfect square up to 301^2

I think r00t is leehuans alt
And you wonder why sometimes I don't reply to you. Hate to sound rude but too often you're being a nuisance despite at times you have a point (e.g. arrogance leaking out of me).

I'm not sure if it applies to everyone but for me, I also have some mental arithmetic tricks

1) 19*40=20*40-19
2) Fibonacci numbers I can recite off by heart up to 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89
3) 25 times tables are quite easy up to 25*40
4) Can square root any integer perfect square up to 301^2
I see no application of 2)

Does 3) involve the ideas of calculating percentages?

What is the approx. time taken to compute any square in 4)?

2 is a dud.

It depends, if it's a 3 digit number only about 5 seconds, 4 digit maybe 10, 6 digit probably 35

I do take about a minute on a five digit one though, especially if the square ends in the number six.

3 is nothing more than the fact that 25*4=100.
_____________
And there's of course that x * 6 = x * 3 * 2 (do multiplication step by step in head).

Adding large numbers is like Fn, not really significant
