      Adding up to 10, like the other comment explains, is the common way. Using 14 as intermediate step suggests a different way of thinking. OP could be on to something if that’s normal to you.

      7 + 6 = 10 + 3 = 13

        Some people have 7+6 = 13 memorized.

        Some do 1+6+6 = 1+12 = 13.

        Some use offsets from 5, like 5+1+5+2 = 2*5 + 3 = 13

        Hell I’m sure somebody did it like 10 - 4 + 10 - 3 = 20 - 7 = 10 + 10 - 7 = 10 + 3 = 13

          Now determine the correlation between the various methods and adhd. My guess is that people with adhd are more likely to use the more exotic methods.
