[Blindmath] Solving systems by Graphing

[Jon Yaggie via Blindmath]

Perhaps "easily" is a loaded word.  They are better trained.  Math classes in general reinforce procedure with little understanding.  Therefore an average student excels at manipulation of equations etc.  in fact students are very good way better and quirkier than i am, but i have a far better understanding and ability to use that knowledge.
