Manhattan's Mathematical Madness

I bought this at the beginning of the sale and have probably heard this field less than 20 times (with Brain Key and other assorted boosters, of course!). I was not expecting to see any kind of results this quickly!

Found myself accidentally doing math yesterday. I was adding fields to my playlist for my overnight stack and kept a running total of when I expected the playlist to finish up. This is a mental operation I wouldn’t normally perform because VLC (the software I use to queue up my fields) keeps track of it on its own and will tell me what time the playlist will wrap up. Furthermore, this mental operation required context I wasn’t consciously aware I had, like how long each of the tracks are.

My ‘estimate’ was within 15 seconds of VLC’s confirmation.

Yes, this is the most basic of basic math operations (Adding) but it was so easy and effortless I almost didn’t notice I was doing it. I wouldn’t normally describe math as ‘hard’ for me or anything, but certainly some effort was required – number permanence in particular has been problematic for me – this has already cleared up a lot of that ‘weight’. Again, I’ve been listening for less than 3 days!

I can’t wait to see the effects of compounding listening. You’ll never catch me fumbling to figure out Tip at a restaurant again!
