Dyscalculia And The Troika.

Tricky Times For Troika.

  The Troika looking confused.
"These numbers on my watch always confuse me. One hand is pointing at 12 and the other hand is pointing at somewhere between 4 and 5. What the hell can that mean?"
" I don't understand mine either; I never have."

" That's why I don't own a watch; they are very complex things."

Dyscalculia is difficulty in learning or comprehending arithmetic, such as difficulty in understanding numbers, learning how to manipulate numbers and learning math facts.

People, like the Troika, and numerous Finance Ministers around the World have this problem.

They have:

1 Difficulty in reading clocks ( as can be seen by the Troika in the photo ) or actually watches in this case. Come on, don't they look confused ?

2. They have the inability to comprehend financial planning or budgeting, sometimes even on a basic level, for example , estimation the cost of the items in a shopping basket or balancing a checkbook.  The proof of this particular pudding is now being eaten by the Greeks.

3.Difficulty with multiplication tables and subtraction tables, division tables, mental arithmetic etc.

Oh yes, it all makes sense now.
