Truth. What I meant in my earlier reply is that if I had it I wouldn't know, not that I suspect that I might. I don't mix up numbers any more than anyone else, I suspect, unless they're phone numbers. I almost always get them wrong. Odd, but harmless.

It took cognitive testing and behavioral therapy to make the connection between my math deficiency and other idiosyncrasies, like that I can learn to play songs on my bass or guitar by ear, but can't parse music theory. I can learn songs, but can't improvise. Music theory is basically tonal mathematics.
