I don't like the narration. Feels like punching him!

What he did only took a few seconds. The explanation took longer than a pencil.A real comparison would involve a 15 digit number.And Jedi, it adds. All other functions depend on the users knowledge of their relation to addition. google jan's curta simulator to have fun with one for free!

maybe for idiots like you that dont have to do repetitive maths where accuracy is critical. surveying requires that and this was once a critical tool. my old boss had one and it was just as useful as our programmable calculators for doing calcs when teamed with your standard tables for doing trig etc.

wonder how much they cost

this is a type 1 curta older than mine...I have a type 1 may 1969 and a type 2 june 1967...didn't really know what I had...I found it in an old camera case! What a lucky find.

simply amazing is the ingenuity of the human mind.

If you look real close, there's a button to solve the Riemann hypothesis while spewing out Higgs' boson's and magnetic monopoles.
