Please allow me to disagree -- not in that adding fractions is advanced
math or beyond my math capabilities, but in the definition of the problem
-- the trouble with number-crunching is not its difficulty, but its
tediousness -- and because whipping out the calculators is such an
anti-climax if it happens anywhere during the session; arguably, item
creation can be kept outside "normal" gaming, though.
