He did show me a test question where he got 2 out of 4 for the correct answer. The question was a typical “ambush” question something like: “A man’s suit had been on sale for 14 days. Its original price was reduced by 25% on the first day and 25% of its original price on the 10th day. It is now selling for $140.  What was its original price.” He didn’t show his work.       I have a theory about success and rules for it. When a person is successful, that person can write a summary of rules for success, but that does not mean the rules preceded the success. They were probably distilled from the success.

He wasprobably never asked to do anything that required above grade level skills. And if hewas actually good at math he probably hated “math journals” and “explaining” his thinking.
