If you had asked people who wrote down equations on paper and solved them, you would have gotten fewer hands raised. Instead, people would have asked you why that is the relevant question.
You somehow think it doesn't count if someone uses algebraic reasoning to figure something out. It feels like you're moving the goalposts. I'll take my leave; good day!

And I would have answered that question, like already did in this thread. > You somehow think it doesn't count If you want credit for using algebraic reasoning, I'll give it to you. What I won't do is say that forcing most high school kids to do pen-and-paper operations which will be useful if they choose to become scientists but probably won't be useful if they don't become scientists, is a good use of their time or our public resources, because I don't believe that it is. And if we're talking about feelings, it feels like you're seeking validation for your math affinity. This sure seems like an expensive way to go about it.
