What is 78 x 23?
When I was much younger, I was fairly good at mental arithmetic. In fact I was damn-right impressive, if I may gloat a little. But then someone bought me a calculator watch for a Christmas gift. I was a nerd then, as I am now, and I thought the watch was very cool. So I used it every chance that I got and 20 years later I am fairly crap at mental arithmetic. I can still do it, but I am much slower than the 11 year-old Clinton Forbes in 1986. That depresses me a little.
