Yesterday I was measuring out and cutting a simple garment with my mother, and I had to divide 160 by 3. I can't be trusted to do basic arithmetic, and it's not a division by 2 (which is conveniently marked on the measuring tape), so I grabbed the #slideRule that I still had on the cutting table and... panicked, and couldn't do it.
This morning, on my own, I saw the slide rule, tried and of course I could do such a simple operation.
demo effect, I guess? :D

Unknown parent • •@Green and Rainbows the actual thing i needed was “160 divided by 3 and then we measure this on your back and add or remove up to 10 cm”, so, yeah, taking a cm off wouldn't have really mattered :D
(for precise things I tend to draft on the computer :) )
