I also sucked at math. Mainly when I had to do calculation in my head (without calculator). I never saw the point in that.

My teacher once asked me if I was willing to walk around with a calculator in my pocket all day every day, in a failed attempt to get me to see the point of learning how to calculate 525/56 in my head... I would have had no problem with that whatsoever!!! And now my phone has a calculator!!! to the teacher!

Another problem I have which is math related is statistics. I just don´t get it. I may learn the rules behind it, but for me if something happens or not is still 50%/50%. It either does or does not.
I gave up on that one after I failed 3 times the same test... I actually got so bored with it that evertime I would open my study book I would fall asleep within 1 page Even if I was sitting at the table in school Hows that for brain overload I took it as proof that I was simply not meant to know this stuff.
