I know itโs a joke with the burger scene but myShane is genuinely bad at math. He never liked it in school, he uses his phone calculator for everything, and he rarely even has to do math.
On the other hand, myIlya is pretty good at math. Not a math genius, but it was his favourite subject in school.
When Shane learns that Ilya has no problem doing basic equations in his head, he immediately starts using him for anything math related.
โIlya, this recipe says to use 1/3 cups for 8 servings but I want to make 3 servings.โ
โIlya, what would a 20% tip be on this?โ
โIlya, can you look at this statement the contractor sent over? I have no idea what itโs saying.โ
And Ilya grumbles and teases about Shane using him as a human calculator, but he (not so secretly) loves it.
Because as someone whoโs been very dependent, for most of his adult life, on other people helping/correcting his English, math is some he understands and can help Shane with.
Though, Shane gets his fair amount of teasing in too.
Shane: Are you ready yet? Weโre going to be late.
Ilya: my 9 inches is ready ๐
Shane: I thought you were suppose to be good at mathโฆ
Ilya: ๐
