The cognitive dissonance of biology students is truly a marvel of science. You'll happily memorize the entire Krebs cycle, recite all 20 amino acids, and diagram complex signaling cascades... but ask you to calculate a simple dilution and suddenly it's like you've been asked to split the atom with a butter knife. The brain that can remember the difference between meiosis and mitosis somehow crashes when faced with "what's 0.5 divided by 0.25?" It's nature's perfect example of specialized evolution – brilliantly adapted for taxonomy but tragically underdeveloped for basic arithmetic.
