This resonated a lot with me. I never memorized 6+7 nor 7+8, I couldn&#x27;t bring myself to do it. Instead I found an easier alternative: make it 7+7 or 8+8 and substract 1.<p>Luckily I didn&#x27;t say that out loud, otherwise they might have made me hate mathematics and I wouldn&#x27;t love science now (:
