My math skills are way fucking off

It seems that everytime I try to solve a math problem, my logic is always backwards. What are some online brain teasers that I can do everyday that would help refine my math skills?

Brain teasers tend to improve deductive logic skills rather than math skills. If you want to improve your math, get a college algebra/trig/calculus book and start to work through the problems.

Yes.. doing math is really all about practice; getting your brain used to the operations.

Maybe you're just not mathematically inclined

well, I thought all those drugs turned my math skills to shit, and turns out I aced my first exam with a 100% 
now as long as I stay off the meth I'll probably ace these courses.

Go to demonoid (assuming your not a canadian resident) and look inside the self-help section or educational section.
Theres a torrent called "Math Magic How to Master Everyday Math Problems", might want to look into that, you could also check out other torrent sites if demonoid doesnt have enough of what your looking for (mininova.org or the pirate bay). If thats still not enough you can get non torrent file sharing progs like limewire and bearshare.

Not to be judgemental, but after reading some of your posts, I would say staying off the needle should be more of your concern. Being addicted to a specific drug administered via iv is one concert, but the danger is exemplified exponentially once a person becomes addicted to the needle itself.
