Haha, nope I solved it too, though using a calculator and then promptly closed it because it resulted in odd numbers... I have a weird thing with odd numbers, I don't like them.

Yeah, I think one of the hardest things to deal with, is other people not caring/understanding/realising that if we come across as 'normal' it's because we've put a lot of work into it. It's not that we're on the same level as them, we've just had to put ourselves through a lot of stress to appear that way.
