Organically meaning "not intentionally looking up 'quadratic formula problems', or problems with the sole intention of farming for this market".
Although, if this this poll incentivizes me to, for example, actually try to study abstract algebra/do more math competition-esque problems, and the quadratic formula happens to show up, I will count it. (i suppose you'll have to count on my discretion for this)
So far this year, I think I've used it once.
I will try to provide updates.
Total as of June 2: 1.
Jun 2, 6:06pm: "explicitly" means thinking in my head something along the lines of "negative b plus/minus the square root of b squared minus four a-c all over two a". Particularly, I'm excluding from this count the use of theorems/formulas that may have been derived/proven with an appeal to Mr. Q-form.
This question is managed and resolved by Manifold.

Potentially relevant in the case where I do return to school this fall: The three likeliest classes I'd be taking to finish my degree (in order of most to least likely): a) senior paper, most likely algebraic-ish, but I could see it maybe being analysis leaning? b) "intro to proofs" class (hehe), c) AI.
