Don't they teach fractions in school anymore?

People seem afraid of fractions, maybe it's part of the abyss that stares
back at them called "premature optimization." That cold feeling when
you're messing with lowest common denominator when any common denominator
will do? It's the dark soulless abyss staring back at you.

Get a nice answer like 4/32? Hey look, your rule reads in 32nds, you can
just count four lines! What do you mean you've reduced to 1/8? Do you
WANT the abyss to consume your mathematical soul?
