I never liked it the first time around.
Now trying to help with homework problems, it's all becoming clear. I only had to live 40 years or so to get it.
A simple word problem (what is the least number of coins needed to give a customer .42 in change?) stumped the chump last night. A clear case of the classic "Read the problem!"
I had H subtracting .42 from a dollar, then working the coin numbers. I overcomplicated a simple question and confused the hell out of him.
Oh well. As Barbie used to say, "Math is hard!"
