The eternal war between math teachers and students, illustrated by the bell curve of intelligence. At both extremes of the IQ spectrum (the 55 and 145 crowd), we've got the same burning question: "Why calculate this by hand when calculators exist?" Meanwhile, the average 100 IQ folks in the middle are like "Sweet, calculator time!"

It's the perfect horseshoe theory of mathematics—both the mathematical geniuses and those struggling with basic arithmetic arrive at the same conclusion: manual calculation is torture. The irony? The smartest and the, um, "most challenged" students are the only ones questioning why we're still doing arithmetic like it's 1822.
