Is it really that tough? What's the big deal about basic multiplication?

number of yards.

I can do that on paper in about 20 seconds. That's nothing special.

Number of yards times 3 = number of feet. That's less than trivial.

Number of feet times 12 = number of inches. Again, less than trivial.

According to basic math, nothing special + 2*(less than trivial) = trivial.
