Open Thread Friday: What’s Your Math Question?

So when does math make you crazy in your everyday life? Are there situations that make your hands sweat?

On selected Fridays, I’ll host an open thread where you can ask your questions or share your specific frustrations with everyday math. And if you see a question from someone else that you can answer? Go for it! I’ll select questions for future posts here at Math For Grownups. In those posts, I’ll show you easy ways to get around these frustrations.

So let ‘er rip in the comments section. Ask about fractions or grocery store math or the best way to place a bet on the ponies. Just remember that we’re not here to do your homework for you. And leave your calculus, trig and diff eq questions for another blog.
