I'm really really rubbish at maths. I can't even split taxi fares when I'm sober. But I love this quote from Mark Haddon. It's from his book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, which seems to have been so widely read that even I've read it. It's a quote that makes me feel less stupid about not understanding anything at all about life!
"Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical, but you could never work out all the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them."
