About this title

Review:

Did you ever wake up to one of those days where everything is a problem? You have 10 things to do, but only 30 minutes till the bus leaves. Is there enough time? You have three shirts and two pairs of trousers--can you make one good outfit? Don't worry--it's just the "Maths Curse" striking! An amusing book about dealing with numbers in everyday life.
