...I just did a 6 step math problem in 50 steps instead. Spent the last hour and a half working on it, then I looked at it again and realized a huge shortcut I could have done from the get go and practically solved the entire thing in my head. What a damn waste of time.

Ahh.. feeling stupid is a good way to learn. So to stop feeling stupid, make sure you see the shortcut in the first place. :)

I felt that I wasted my time reading this. :)

I have been using a lot of math recently... but only invovles converting currencies.
