Faux More Years

Also known as “Trump 2020 2.0.” Trump’s politically incorrect slogan, after failing to extend his White House stay until 2024 in spite of numerous frivolous lawsuits and repeated alleged fraudulent ballots in states where he lost to his older “low energy” presidential rival.

From “four more years” to “faux more years,” Trump 2020 ought to be rechristened Trump 2Ø2Ø, as he’s hoping (and his diehard supporters all maniacally praying and interceding) that a second miracle might be heading his way before 1/20/21—the palindromic date when they might have to escort him out of his temporary residence if he still insisted that he “won” the 2020 election.

Christ and Corona

When Jesus Christ, the King of kings, allows Satan, the “father of lies,” to call on Ms. Corona, the “queen of the viruses,” to roam the earth (and possibly hell, too) to infect millions of people, and to prematurely end the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, young and old, rich and poor, or smart and dumb.

Although God has the power to stop the pandemic any time, however, it looks like He decided not to get involved in any conversation between Christ and Corona, or between Corona and Lucifer, for whatever spiritual reasons unknown to the earthlings.

Pi on Earth

When the symbol π is stone-carved against a circular background of a different color on the ground.

If the value of π in heaven is arguably 3, which is computed based on two biblical verses (1 Kings 7:23 and 2 Chronicles 4:2), what is the value of pi on earth then?

Trumpvirus’s Infectivity

The rate at which Donald J. Trump’s conspiracies and lies about fraudulent ballots brainwashes his oft-gullible hardcore supporters to donate to the post-election fund to "protect the results and keep fighting even after Election Day.”

Trumpvirus’s infectivity incited both Trumpists and QAnonists to contribute tens of millions of dollars, which could be used to settle part of the president’s bigly debt and to finance his own political rallies, especially if he’s running again in 2024 (assuming that he’s not behind bars by then).

Origask

Short for “origami mask.” The art of making a face mask using origami paper (and string or rubber band if you don’t mind wearing it to make some kind of political, religious, or social statement to attract attention).

How long does it take, or how many folding steps are needed, to make an origask?

🇸🇬 🔢

Singapore Math in two characters. A mélange of the best math curriculums from the East and the West, which is arguably the catalyst for Singapore students to repeatedly rank top in international comparative studies like PISA and TIMSS.

In emoji, 🇸🇬 🔢 = (🇺🇸 + 🇬🇧 + 🇨🇳 + 🇰🇷 + 🇷🇺 + 🇮🇱) × 🔢—why should Singapore reinvent the wheel when it can steal the best mathematical ideas from others?

Corona Calculus

The use of differentiation and integration symbols to hypothesize the infection and mortality rates of change in many parts of the developed world. For example, which of the following Covid-19 hypotheses are worth investigating further?

Wuhan: ∫🦠₁₉ dx = 🦇 + c
White House: ∫🦠₁₉ dx = 🇨🇳🧫🧪+ c

Singapore: d/dx (🦠₁₉) = 😷x + 💀y
US: d/dx (🤥₄₅ + 🦠₁₉) = 😷ˣ + 💀ʸ

Corona calculus helps us to differentiate between facts and falsehoods about the coronavirus, while we integrate the latest effective preventive measures adopted by countries with low infections and deaths to control the pandemic crisis.
