71... missed some damn easy ones. Ashamed to say I didn't even get SKD or Austin :bandit:

Yeah I got 71 too, I missed Jay Rod & Austin somehow, I did get distracted by someone coming into my office for a couple of minutes so I'm going to blame it on that.
 
No is the answer. My kids ask me what a cacluator is when on their homework it says "without a calculator". People have "apps" these days. I have that old thing called a brain and a pen and paper. Still working well.

Fair play to you. Our local bakers do everything on paper. It's run by a family, I asked the Mum why, she said because it gives the brain exercise, and the brain needs exercise!

No way I could do it.

I think mental arithmetic is very important. Technology allows you to do really tough stuff, which would be hard if you did mental arithmetic, but it is still useful in life. I get 20% off M and S as I am a pensioner....believe me I can work out the price to pay on multiple items with 20% off at the drop of a hat. I was always being asked by other staff to work out how many days off they could have if they had X hours of holiday due. Should Armageddon come and you need to survive...youngsters had better hope there are still a few oldies left to direct you. <laugh>
