    you’ve never seen anybody simplify it to 3 when doing head calcs without a phone nearby?

    it doesn’t happen often, in fact I’ve seen it once. in a decade.

      The only time you should be doing head calcs as an engineer is to double check that you have a reasonable answer with the actual calcs on your actual calculator.
