A label for a believer of Christ whose spiritual condition is worrisome as they appear to be heading to the side of eternity, where now reside the Hitlers, Stalins, Maos, and Osamas—a global synchronized corporate prayer might help save the souls of these Easter or Christmas attendees.
With atheism as the unspoken religion in most parts of Europe, and with right-wing or religious extremism on the rise in the US and the West, guesstimate how many millions of dodo Christians worldwide might not have their names in the Book of Life.

Short for fourth generation math syllabus change in Singapore, since the Y2K bug. The Ministry of Education (MOE) is reverting to its old ways of controllably and uncompetitively writing its own elementary math content, instead of outsourcing the task to publishers.

A face mask designed by a mathepreneur that has a math question printed on it, which aims at reducing innumeracy among its wearers during this pandemic crisis—when both safety and numeracy are achieved in a profitable way.
At $1 per MathMask™, or at $10 a dozen, these “smart masks” are expected to be popular gift items among both pro- and anti-Trump evangelicals this Christmas.

When someone shows off the success of their exam-smart or pseudo-talented kids or tutees in school or olympiad math, by posting photos of their grades, awards, medals, or certificates on social media, dreaming for a googol likes in return—wayang is a Malay word that mockingly describes someone as being “fake” in the sense that they are putting up an act in front of others.
Guesstimate how many wayang math postings appear on Facebook and Instagram every year by oft-kiasu or egocentric parents to hint to their social circles of their “supernatural” parenting or tutoring skills.
