14. From Grade School. . .
. . . i still remember the flash card percentage contests. I've always been very good with numbers, but in 6th through 8th grades, the math classes always included work with ratios.

I still remember without even a second to calculate, all the fractions as percents from 1 to 20. (IOW, what percent is 4/7ths? What percent is 13/17ths? And so on.)

That game just stuck in my head and i was in grade school more than 35 years ago!


Thanks to those teachers that made learning a game. Good work folks!
The Professor
