I mean if starting from scratch that seems like many years in most western education systems to get to probability, logarithms, exponentiation.

I would say If you knew 2+2=4, and not much else you're years away from 'understanding', if you know ln(exp(y)) = y, and P(x>0.5) = 0.5 for a uniform distribution on [0, 1) then you don't need any additional understanding.

I would bet the GP comment is somewhere inbetween the two extremes, but I think a random sampling of the population would likely result in people generally not knowing the log / exponentiation relation, or anything about the uniform distribution.

Yea got many answers and I dont understand a single one. Good thing you barely need math in programming.
