From about fifty to 77 years of age, I have been driven nuts by people and their inability to handle Simple Mathematics. Repeatedly I have witnessed people of both, 2, genders multiply a number such as 5x1=5 and call that five fold... BBBBBBBBBBBSSSSSSSSSS! That is simple multiplication!

So how to teach the simple-minded about Folding! Imagine a piece of paper on a desk. Fold it once and you have 2 layers. Fold that paper twice and there are four layers. Fold it three times and there are eight layers. Fold it four times and there are sixteen layers. Folding a number is not complicated but it is not multiplication.

Dear Brother,
I was never a fan of mathematics!
Also, I'm blessed if I can fold bed sheets twice the same way!!!

God bless you with your ability with numbers! I used to look at my brother-in-law dumb founded whenever he would start talking numbers. o_O
He's a Physics Professor!! :laughing:

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

Pretty good with math here... was going into scientific research until the Lord told me my field of study would be bad to go into so I went with whatever job worked for me. But ppl messing up math never bothered me. Everyone is good at some things and bad at other things.
