Moonshot Math
Hard math projects that would require the best of talents and skills from both mathematicians and math educators regionally or globally, as their monumental effort aims to positively impact the community or society.
Just as landing someone on the moon propelled and produced unprecedented payoffs and unpredictable spinoffs, by creating entirely new markets and industries, solving moonshot math problems has the potential of giving birth to new products and new businesses, and creating new jobs.

Complex Pi
When the trip of the complex number π + iπ to the Argand plane was a disappointment, as it failed to secure an exact position on it—both real and imaginary axes couldn’t accurately accommodate the irrational π on them.
Complex pi has come to terms that it can only be located approximately when students try to plot it on the Argand or complex plane.

Pi Radiation
When blips or bleeps received on Earth seems to follow the digital pattern of the decimal number π, which makes astronomers (or even astrologers) get pretty excited, as this celestial signal could prove that extraterrestrials were trying to make contact with earthlings.
Since the detection of pi radiation that hints to the high probability that there is life on other planets, mathematicians-agnostics haven’t uttered a word to the existence of an Almighty God, who is behind the scenes controlling the motion of the planets and galaxies.

Think Like π
The mathematical equivalent of thinking like a child, who uniquely looks at the world imaginatively, playfully, or creatively, much to the delight of others who might even experience an aha! moment from their spontaneous response or behavior.
If mathematical constants like e and 𝛷 were to think like π, by freely and consciously promoting themselves regularly, there is no reason that they couldn’t be as popular and interesting as the beloved beautiful pi.

F***ing Pi
When no mathematical constant other than π has attracted so much envy or jealousy among fellow members in the Number Kingdom—when π continues to steal the show wherever she goes, because her sexy numerical and geometric properties have led legions of math geeks on their knees to worship her.
Love her or loathe her, even mathophohics can’t ignore the mesmerizing or magical beauty of f***ing pi, with some of them even able to experience an aha! when they let go of their off-irrational inhibitions, real or imaginary.

Pi in the Sky
When the passengers on a plane up in the sky are separately seated based on the the digits of the decimal number π—there are three empty seats between the first and second passenger, one empty seat between the second and third passenger, four empty seats between the third and fourth passenger, and so on.

+mas
A more fitting shortcut for Christmas, where the symbol ‘+’ reminds us of the birth of Christ, whose death on the cross paid the penalty for our sins so that we could have eternal life, rather than the abbreviated Xmas, where ‘X’ is often an unknown for nonbelievers, which could stand for a gift exchange, year-end party, roasted turkey, and the like.
Unlike Xmas that usually involves some fun or joyful activity or event for non-Christians, +mas annually reminds believers of Jesus—who came from heaven to earth as a baby, who was conceived from a virgin birth by the Holy Spirit—who has the power to forgive their sins and to offer them eternal life as they acknowledge Him as Lord and Savior.
