Nobody says one couldn't quickly slate out those three formulas I 
suggested on a blank piece of Braille paper as soon as the oral exam 
begins.  *smile*  And a 4 function calculator or an abacus is

someone asking you to show them how to use one after the exam, if 
there are any really nerdy people present!)
