I can remember working out the problems, making sure I did all the operations in the correct order - and loving the challenge. (Oh no! I was a math nerd!)
Sumter is putting together a few problems for me to do. I'll let you know tomorrow if I still have the math "edge". Oh... and did you get the right answer?

Yes, we will be at the Tartan Ball! None of my men will be in kilts, however :(
My 15 year old was the only one who could answer this.... She loves her math! I digress.
