A few years ago mine was 9 (10+8) / 2

But now it is more like 5 or lower.

Modern technology's motto is " I have a new solution, so please create a problem for it "

Yeah it's a good point i.e. skills lessening as we age. You still have the knowledge but practical application becomes more difficult. I remember when I was a teenager and one of my uncles was showing me his newly tiled kitchen and papered living room. He'd always been very good at this stuff and, whilst the work was still good, you could see little bits here and there where his usual quality had slipped slightly

Yeah, pity really. Was just supposed to be a bit of fun and got hijacked by the maths police thanks boys ...

There's always room for pedantry.

I'm going with a (6+6)/2 = 6.

Ambitious, sometimes good, occasionally deeply flawed.

And yet you do the maths correctly...........

I wouldn't have bothered but since the other pedants are circling I didn't want to add more chum to the water.

I was tempted to go for 5.5 and round myself down, but Maths trolling is a step too far imo.

I think it depends. I suspect some on here would fall into this bracket:

(mates having a chat in the pub)
Mate A: Yeah I took the A645 to come home last night.
Mate B: Where were you traveling from again?
Mate A: Townsville.
Mate B: What you actually did was take the A645, merged onto the A644 for 2.38 miles, then merged back onto the A645.
Mate A: (already half way out the door.)

 

[bernardgreen]

Yeah I took the A645 to come home last night.

I took the M6 to Manchester, the police told me to put it back where I found it,

I'd reckon an 8, and can turn my hand to almost anything reasonably well given advice I've gleened over the years...

I'd reckon that is more to do with your inflated ego .Reality is you cannot knock a nail in..

I'm off the scale.

I'm off the scale.

Buy a bigger scale.

Maths Police have had a 20% cut in numbers. So who wants to work that out?

 

[empip]

You cannot educate pork...

-0-

 

[bernardgreen]

a 20% cut in numbers.

20% of the number 23456 is 4 ( there are other correct answers )

 

[HERTS P&D]

I'm off the scale.

I always thought you were quite slim???
