My father-in-law would have loved it all. He was a vice president actuary at Metropolitan Life. Come to think of it, if he ever went to Britain, he would have been teaching. The man was a walking computer, absolute math genius. Playing chess, bridge, and any gambling scheme was deadly with him.
The ability skipped his son, but the Grandson - He thinks calculus is fun.

I'm good at maths, but never really picked up bridge or chess.
