Is the above acceptable to make an enquiry if somebody is good or bad or indifferent at something?

If not, what would be a commonplace expression to make such enquiry?

Are you good at table tennis?

or

How good are you at physics?

They are all acceptable, as long as you put only one question mark.

In the U.S. it's "math" (without the 's').

Dlaczego?

(That's 'why?' if the google translator worked.)

I feel awfully handicapped. My writing to you in English does not create for you one millionth (if any at all) the excitement that your writing to me in Polish does for me. :-(

And yes, Google worked fine on this occasion.
