I dunno but, in the days before mixing with all the clever guys (gender neutral ) on CycleChat, I was known to play darts with the less obviously gifted.
They were brilliant at addition, subtraction and the more complex issues around working out a 'finish' sequence.
I think we, and they, learned what we needed to do which was easier for a practical reason than learning for an abstract exercise.
When I worked "on the tools" in the early 80's there were guys (not gender neutral in that industry at that time) who were, to all intents and purposes, illiterate. But, they could work out the return on a yankee when one horse had come 2nd at 3 to 2 and another had won at 4 to 5 on, within seconds!
