You keep telling this lie. You were once asked to defend it and all
you could come up with was that some website that was no longer up
gave a quote you couldn't even paraphrase from some book from the
1950s.
It is a lie, and to anyone who's actually studied the man obviously
so.

It was from Scordova who quoted a book published in 1950 which had a
letter from Darwin where he lamented that he made no sense of math.
Which means it is as poorly sourced as I said it was. You can't say
what Darwin wrote, to whom, in what context. You can't even say what
your third-hand source is. More importantly, you've changed your
claim to "he lamented that he made no sense of math." Your assertion
had been that "he couldn't do math," which is an obvious falsehood.
Anyone can go to a biography of the man and read up on his education.
