So I was refueling my car and I thought:

"If 20 bucks fills up 70% of the tank and I only have 15 bucks then what percent of the tank can I fill up?  Okay so 15 is 3/4 of 20 which means the percent will 1/4 less then 70.  Let's see 15 is 1/4 of 60 so then I simply have to spread out the last 10 percent amongst the quarters.  If 25% of 10 is 2.5 then that means I just subtract 17.5% from 70% and I get 52.5%"

Who else would start thinking about this?

I WOULD but minus all the unnecessary thoughts.
"Previously, $20 filled the tank 70%. I are has only $15, so that's about 50% of the tank. I shouldn't care any more than that, because these numbers aren't precise"

That's right, but you could have just done 70*3 = 210, then 210/4 = 52.5

I once made a Pascal's Triangle to the 32nd power for fun >.>

here's one to, let's see...

...the 13th power.  Imagine one a little less than 3 times that size.

no thanks, I was sad enough when the one I made was lost after the end of the schoolyear because I forgot to take it out of my locker (it was hanging on the door)

Math sucks, and I will never use anything more than basic math and finances.
