I know it's how it's done and we do it in our heads automatically but playing out like this it looks confusing but very funny.

Actually I do have a most peculiar way of subtracting and adding... and it's about as daft as this lark. I never could get on with 7, 8 and 9s.... and when you get 17 take away 9... oh goooooddddddd now.. I do a Lehrer Glover version and tis easy! teehee.

Sadly that is exactly how I think it through. Including the random confusion of the 6 near the end.
