Or even addition.

Back in the old days (early 90's), in one of my bowling leagues, prior to the automatic scoring machines, we had to keep our own scores. There was a girl in our league that would insist on keeping score for her team. She would sit at the table with a calculator.

I kid you not. In the first frame of a game, someone on her team got 9 on the first ball and missed the spare. She got her calculator out and typed in 9+0= to get the total to put for the first frame.

I understand that some people don't like math, but EVERYONE should be able to do simple calculations in their heads.
