Also known as “Haiti Math”—voodoo is an unofficial religion practiced in Haiti. Math word problems that use zombies or monsters as their characters to teach dark problem solving.
An example of a grade two voodoo math question is: “The line graph shows the weekly number of zombies that were caught by the police during the six-week nationwide lockdown. Use the diagram to answer the following questions.
a) How many more zombies were caught in April than in May?
b) If the zombies were able to bite a victim before they were caught, what is the least number of zombie bites that took place during the entire lockdown?”

The divine password or spiritual key that allows you to gain access to God’s grace (unmerited favor)—because of Jesus’ perfect work on the cross, you are made righteous by His blood, which qualifies you to be a recipient of His blessing, favor, and love.
It’s not faith in any gods and goddesses, or in any prophets, but faith in Christ, the anointed Son of the living God—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

When you combine talent, skill, craft, and creativity to bring new light to old math problems, such as solving both routine and nonroutine math questions in a creative or unconventional way.
Be it using an abacus to differentiate and integrate functions, chopsticks to multiply two numbers, or a paper clock to teach number patterns, you are doing math art.

When corona skeptics, vaccine conspiracy theorists, and those opposed to mandatory vaccines and masks, who claim that any lockdown is causing "more harm than the virus,” stage public rallies to challenge the authorities for infringing their rights and controlling their lives—1984 is a novel by English novelist George Orwell, which examines how facts and truth are politically manipulated by dictators or rogue leaders.
Protesters in the UK are holding placards that says that “Covid-1984 is being used for political purposes and public control.”

When Singapore with strict graffiti laws sounds open to designating spaces where graffiti is allowed—a form of vandalistic inoculation—especially for folks to vent out their frustrations about the government’s half-baked reactive measures in containing the high infection and mortality rates, as the “fine” city experiments to live with Covid in the endemic new normal.
Arts critics have mixed feelings about Singapore’s semi-openness in allowing coronaffiti at some designated locations, because some artistically talented actors from the Opposition could be a pain in the brain in exposing the 4G leaders’ recurring hypocrisy and ineptitude in solving the corona crisis.

When the irrational and transcendental number π occasionally reveals herself to excite the mathematical brethren of her numerical or geometric hidden properties, be it through some new beautiful pattern or little juicy theorem.
Both number theorists and numerologists get pretty aroused when they get invited to attend a pi striptease event (by invitation only), whose aha! moments could get them mathematically excited for days.
