Marijuana Math

The use of marijuana or illegal drugs as a means of relaxation, or as an outlet for creativity, among the best brains in academia to crack those fiendish math problems.
It’s a common sight to see that a number of first-rate mathematicians are heavy smokers, especially when they need a break from their half-baked proofs; however, less commonly known is that the more daring ones would consider marijuana math, hoping for an aha! experience in the process.

Symbolless Math

A politically correct term for “Elementary school math for the simple-minded or numerically challenged.” Math concepts explained in layman terms, which is targeted at those who are allergic to hearing or seeing numerical notations or equations.
Like sugarless chocolate or vegetarian chicken, promoters of symbolless math show that no groups or peoples should be excluded, especially the math-anxious or mathophobic—no one is beyond mathematical comprehension.

Immoral Vaccination

When high-income countries with high vaccination rates would almost have to beg or coax their citizens to get their third booster shots rather than giving or selling their surplus or hoarded vaccines to developing nations, where the people long to get jabbed.
Nations guilty of immoral vaccination only agree to donate their near-expiry vaccines to desperate pro-Western developing countries, or decide to practice “dose sharing” with another developed country that has a low vaccination rate and a low supply of Western vaccines.

Trump-sense

A biologically inherited but atrophied sense that allows some born with an average or below-average IQ and EQ to punch above their weight cognitively, by lying and scheming their way to only survive but also thrive in life, without getting caught, fined, and jailed for their unethical and immoral lifestyle.
Don has resurrected this trump-sense in him, which had enabled him to become the most powerful man in the world even for just “serving” one term in office.

Christmas Pi

When symbol-minded folks decide to come up with some math crackers in the form of π-related quickies and trickies for Christmas to enliven the mood of math geeks, who couldn’t wait to go back to school to indulge themselves in some creative problem solving.
Moonlighting school math teachers in Singapore have been pressured by some owners of tuition or enrichment math centers to come up with at least twenty-five brain-unfriendly Christmas pi questions to meet the mathematical needs and wants of their restless, bored students.

Trump’s R₀

Read as “Trump’s R naught or reproduction rate.” The average number of people superspreader Donald J. Trump would have infected due to his selfish, callous, and vainglorious attitude vis-à-vis the coronavirus, which could number in the dozens, as most of them had paid lip service to mask-wearing and social distancing when they were with him.
Guesstimate Trump’s R₀ and the R₀ of all those he infected. Could the total figure be in the hundreds thanks to a fake leader’s inept handling of the Covid-19 pandemic?

Trumpulator

A four-function calculator, marketed by the newly created educational arm of Trump Organization, that is designed with some broken or disabled keys, so that users would need to figure out how to perform basic math calculations without them—a limited number of the dear malfunctioned collectible will be available, as part of raising funds to help defray the high costs of the ex-president’s lawsuits.
A trumpulator will be promoted as a Xmas gift of choice for privileged white kids of wealthy Trumpublicans at annual state Republican meetings in coming months.
