      I think people assume that you are able to do arithmetic very quickly (which I can’t) and the assume you are a genius (which is not true either)

      Somewhat. I try to optimise everything: (1) the routes to places I have to visit on a day such that I have to travel the least; (2) planning vacation time, so that I can travel more but cheaper; (3) how much to cook and refrigerate so that I have the next 3 days’ dinner 😀
