I would have done 10+6, but that's effectively the same thing as the OP.

Aside from literally counting, what other way is there to arrive at 16? You either memorize it, batch the numbers into something else you have memorized, or you count.

Am I missing some obvious 'natural' way?

Mental abacus. You visualize the beads to come to the answer.

Definitely not 'natural', that shit takes major training.
