This reminded me, my Grandpa only had a 4th grade education too. In the fall when all the ranchers would bring in the cattle off the summer mountain pasture, he was always posted at the gate to count the cattle. Someone asked him one time how he could keep up with the head count as many cattle would come through the gate at the same time? His reply, "Its very simple, count all the legs and divide by 4." As for me, I would take it back, I used to cashier.
