Do we need math?

So, the other day I found out I am a genius by Facebook standards, haha. Wow hey? It all began when a friend shared one of those math questions with images instead of numbers.

I am pretty good at observation in general, so found that part no big deal. Then, it came to finishing the resulting equation. I am okay at that part to, since my mom was a teacher.

In the story the main character is planning on writing a book about how to jog a faulty memory. It gives all kinds of tips that I am sure we could find useful in the event of a memory fail. Things included were; a pencil is a girl’s best friend, make lists, a large calendar, and tips to rhyme or associate people’s names in your mind.
