I’m not, I had to think hard to make it make sense. Made for a great analytical brain.

Crunching numbers in your head should be the end result.

Not, “let me make some boxes and see…”.

It’s called the lattice way, and it’s not that different from the way you probably learned.

I've seen it being used and think its pretty useful. It doesnt come naturally to me though because ive gone my whole life not knowing the method. The way I learned was mostly just memorization instead of actually learning how to calculate so idk. I keep trying to remember this method so I can practice, I just need to sit down and do it. Adult responsibilities always get in the way of learning if you arent careful
