I struggle with this
In my old job we had to work out a customers commission with a bit of algebra that was quite complicated and everyone who had less than half a braincell could do it because they were just following instructions on a piece of paper, however there were three of us who could never get it and all of us were the top three team performers and having the highest score in the interview maths test. It was because we wanted to know WHY and how it worked when all they would say to us was "just ignore it it just does"

I still can't do it to this day.
