@Nimbus Mmmm!
I once wanted to perform a calculation a bit too awkward for pen-and-paper (I think it involved a root of a decimal value), but I could not find my calculator anywhere.
"Ah!" thinks I, "Slide Rule!" I never thought of them as horrid but did struggle with maths.
Could not find that either - my home defies my efforts to be organised and tidy, let alone try Feng-shui or any other minimalist fad.
Nothing for it... Logarithm tables, revising the method from a worked example in the book.
Nest day I bought a new scientific calculator... the lost one turned up three weeks later, when I was looking for something else!
