The idea for Howtotoken appeared this very way. After a chat with experts from all over the world, a simple test of who could explain difficult terms in simple words was created. This is no joke, not every expert can do this. It is especially sad when the person is a highly qualified expert in his or her respective field.

This method is commonly used by teachers in elementary school. They become proficient in this skill when teaching young children, and they can explain anything just by using examples.

If you meet such an expert, you can easily add this person to your team.
