We freely admit that the mathematical part of Kardball does not come that easily to some people, even though the ads say something condescending about a "third grade-level math" ability.
Those of us over at Kardball.com happen to be pretty decent at math, so we just never worried about it. More importantly, the game as revealed by the Higher Powers definitely specified multiplication and division, so who are we (mere mortals) to question it ...
Kardball isn't the only card game that uses the numeric values of the cards: Cribbage and Black Jack both rely on math – it just happens to be addition. So maybe those games require a second grade education, I don't know.
Anyways, the next time someone at the Kardball table gives you any grief about batting a five against a Jack, you should just say "Hey, third grade was a long time ago!"
