So apparently *some* of them can.  I guess you don't observe ones
that can't?  I do, sort of [*] ....  Could this be something that's
different in different countries?

[*] My favorite example is what happens when, asked to pay in a
retail establishment, I count out an amount of cash that will result
in my getting back a few largish bills rather than small bills and
change (e.g., $20.79 for a bill of $10.79).  Usually the checkout
clerk just enters the amount in the cash register, but every once
in a while he or she will look at me in puzzlement and say "this is
too much".  Sometimes my explanation ("but this way you give me back
a $10 bill") suffices.  Sometimes there's still this look of puzzlement,
but usually the clerk can be encouraged to just enter the amount, etc.

Then again, it occurs to me that some of the puzzled looks have come
from people old enough to have learned to do arithmetic without
mechanical/electronic assistance.  <shrug>
