In high school, I was invited every time even tangential friends wanted to go bowling because I was the only person who knew how to keep score on paper (the nearby lanes didn’t have electronic scoring). And that was over 30 years ago.

This! I took “rec games” as one of my PE classes in high school. This involved bowling, among other things. A highlight of this was the time I bowled a 24…

However, as the class nerd, I knew how to score a game. My parents used to take us as kids. And fortunately, that was on the test. :-)
