Being a cowboy does NOT say anything about your ability to solve complex problems. It is true that if you have NOT been trained in methods such as calculus, that it is not as likely that you could solve the kinds of mathematical problems that require this training. While a cowboy is not likely to understand calculus, neither is a lawyer.
Too many people automatically believe that your career isn't in a complex field that you must be a moron.
I read a recent newspaper article about a study which concluded that about the same percentage of high IQ and moderate IQ persons earn very large salaries. IQ is NOT a determining factor in acquiring wealth.

Sure, I think that some complex problems only sometimes need simple reasoning to solve. People at times tend to overthink things making the problem complex.

Use the speed Distance Time triangle. it quite works like this: % = Distance / Time Distance = % x Time Time = Distance / % hence, in answer on your question: 8/40 5 = 0.1777 hrs then multiply by 60 to get = 10 minutes 40 secs.

Are you stereotyping all cowboys to be stupid?? How immature....If that were the case, then why are there so many ultra rich Texas oil tycoons that look, act and sound an awful like cowboys?

Sure would! Simple things can be quite effective, sometimes more so then complex solutions.

Sure, if you had a good track record, solid credentials other than being a mule skinner, a drunkard or an extremist, and had a good educational and military background. Yeah, I'd trust your judgment skills, along with your common sense.

That depends on the solution you offer. Sometimes what is simple works best. Lets say you are confronted by a person that thinks It is perfectly all right to strap bombs to himself come to your house and blow himself up in order to kill you. It would seem that a simple solution to that problem would be to kill that person before he got to your house. Simple but effective.

If your reasoning was guided by principles that I agreed with and were consistent with 1) the U. S. Constitution; 2) founding ideals; capitalism; etc.
