[/QUOTE]Yea, well thats expected seeing as how you guys have been practicing all sorts of different methods of logic since 11th grade I've always been exceptional in math up untill about grade 11, when I stopped caring and started taking a deeper interest in history/philosophy/politics etc. I still find math fascinating though and I would love to tone up my math knowledge if I could do so without paying for a course.- Please wait.

It does sound nice though but it's just not possible.
