I don't think they're significantly stupider than anywhere else. I don't know if there even are statistics on that, I should probably check. Plenty of people are terrible at math over here in Europe too.

well they do, but since it's metric it's always 1/10 1/100 ... and they have their own name so no math needed

... I would say that's more about 10 and 12 having their on words, we don't say ten two, it's a bit of a shortcut? Then after 16 we stopped caring and didn't make new words, sticked to 10 7, 10 8, 10 9 for some reason, that IS weird. Unless you take into account that base 10 wasn't always the norm and maybe it made sense to have dedicated words for numbers up to 12 or 16 because they were commonly used quantities or alternative counting bases idk. See I can find (blurry memories of, needs sources) good reasons ;p The point being people say 4 20 12 but only think 92.

Yeah that's why i say the Belgian and Swiss ways are better, their French speakers have dedicated words for 70 80 90. That being said I not sure but I guess in a lot of languages those words just mean 7x10 8x10 9x10 ... we understand base 10 better but that's still a calculation in disguise, historically (and still in some cultures?) base 10 isn't the norm (hence the 4x20 among others).
