I can’t believe how many times I’ve gone through a register when my bill was say $16.79 and I gave $22.04 because I hate sinlges and I hate pennies, nickles, and dimes…dumbasses can never figure it out without the register telling them what to give back. /end rant > > RG4L…this isn’t a personal attack against you, just a random thought I had about calculators. Ah. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to calculate standard deviation in my head. The urge was very hard to overcome. However, I had to do it a few times on this test (one question involved a pooled standard deviation). I was working against the clock and the clock won. Ah. And I can count back change. 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-an-inconvenient-problem/17801)._
