Funny how some people
are naturally less at home with numbers: one of my daughters and one of
my nieces have the same gonerness, though way above average at language
and other things.

Quite, my wife won't attempt Sudoku, which I love, because it's numbers
but I'm certain if I replaced the numbers with letters ie, a to i (it
would work just as well) she would not be put off at all. I wonder what it
is about numbers that puts people off?

I wish I knew that too ! They just don't 'speak' to me at all. I blame my
math teachers halitosis. I never wanted to ask when I didn't understand
because he'd come and lean over to explain .....!
