It took me until late teens / early 20s to get the hang of estimating. In year six, we were given lots of maths problems we were supposed to estimate the answers to, and I didn't understand why they wanted me to give the wrong answer when I could work the right answer out in my head. People tried to explain it, but they never gave me hard enough questions for their explanations to make sense *headdesk*
