I just had a funny memory of childhood.

When I was in 1st grade, the teacher handed out papers to all of the kids in the class. She asked us to look at the list of numbers and circle the number that was the biggest. The test looked like this:

1. 3 ? 5

2. 1 ? 4

3. 7 ? 2

Being the brilliant child that I am, I put my finger at the top of each number and ran it across to the next number... you know, to see which one was the biggest. I couldn't understand why I got most of the questions wrong when I said "1" was bigger than "4", etc.

I guess I didn't understand the whole concept of "greater than" and "elss than" at such a young age.

Hahaha, I love remembering things like that.
