I'd.. probably use the calculator app before I do all this mental gymnastics
This is not mental gymnastics.
This is a coherent method and makes a lot of sense.
Mental gymnastics is when someone has to lie to themselves to make a point that isn't correct. Like when people argue that trump was a good president because they can list several good things he did.
Or when people claim something is mental gymnastics when it's actually called maths.
