gollark: Also, for mathy things I can randomly mess around on my calculator to try and numerically work out bits of the problem (which I am *pretty good* at, since I actually know most of the features of said calculator and how to combine them) and for computery things I can probably get somewhat working code done quickly and try and iterate on it.
gollark: That is probably much more learnable.
gollark: If that doesn't work I have actual internet searching abilities and do not have to ask people.
