Finger math can get you to 100 pretty easily with no strange hand positions. We learned it in 3rd grade. The basic principle is that your left hand is the 10s and your right hand is the 1s. You count to 4 using your fingers like you normally would (unless you're one of those sickos who counts starting with your thumb), 5 is the thumb only, and 6-9 is the thumb plus fingers.

I learned this in elementary school too. It is called chinsenbop.

All software contains bugs. The defense will find some, and even if they only affect accuracy at the 7th decimal point, the case will get thrown out by a jury based on reasonable doubt.

Then the prosecutors are incompetent. If you need to be over 0.08 and the machine says 0.100000, but really that should have been 0.099999 it doesn't matter. You are still over 0.08. You don't need 7 digit accuracy. This is a simple concept that any competent lawyer should be able to teach a jury.

with the goal of ramping up to Cohen-Tannoudji, Diu, and Laloe's "Quantum Mechanics".

Ugh, I HATED that book. It has too be one of the most frustrating, maze-like pieces of work ever created. You can't just read what you need, it is always referring back (or even ahead) to other sections/equations. Trying to learn one thing out of it takes hours of flipping pages and writing out stuff, just so you can see everything in one place. Some may say this is due to the fundamental complexity of the subject, but I suspect it is actually due to disorganization on the part of the authors. (Perhaps too many cooks in the kitchen?)

That said, I use it regularly now, having ponied up the ducats for it and struggled through it I can't justify dropping that investment on another book. It does have pretty much everything thing you need to get started in QM...

Is it just me or are those ETA's totally bogus? There is no way those times can possibly be... possible. We have things with film in can the estimated to arrive the same time as stuff that doesn't even have a script yet. What a bunch of crap.
