Singapore Math Variants

Math titles plagued with brain-unfriendly questions to bedevil or challenge those who find that school textbooks in Singapore ill-prepare them to solve nonroutine or tricky questions—kiasu parents and tutors want to expose their children and students to fiendish or deadlier word problems to protect themselves against olympiad math questions, which have infected school exam papers in recent years.
Publishers are maniacally looking for Singapore math variants writers to meet the mathematical needs and wants of kiasu parents, who want their kids to have an unfair competitive edge over their peers.

Immoral Algebra

When a dishonest seller uses their finger or hand or some other means to tilt one side of a weighing balance to make the left and right sides of the scales look balanced to cheat the customer—a weight balance is often used as a metaphor for an algebraic equation.
God, the Great Mathematician, dislikes immoral algebra, but delights in accurate weights or honest scales.

Algebra

A subject that teaches us how to know what we don’t know, by using letters and symbols to represent things that we don’t know in order to find their values based on things we do know, and some mathematical principles or rules.
Algebra is the language scientists speak in engineering, physics, and artificial intelligence.

Singapore Variant

The mutated strand of coronavirus from the “fine” city that is deadly to kids, as fictionally claimed by Opposition politicians in the Land of the Gandhis, which could usher in India’s third wave, if zero flights between Singapore and India are not enforced.
The authorities refuted the idea of the “Singapore variant,” which seems more like the Opposition in Delhi poking fun at the ineptitude of PM Modi and his team in containing the pandemic crisis.

✈️ 🇷🇴 🏰 🧛 ♂️ = 2💉 🕰

When an unvaccinated tourist planning to stay a night or two at Romania’s Bran Castle, the home of Count Dracula, has a choice: Receive two jabs at once in the neck on arrival, or wait for at least two weeks after receiving the second jab.
Dozens of tourists wishing to make a trip to Dracula’s Castle during this pandemic are in a dilemma: ✈️ 🇷🇴 🏰 🧛 ♂️ = 2💉 🕰.

Dodo Christian

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.

Mask Queen

A nickname given to someone who wears a different mask every day to match the color of her dress or trousers.
To make mask-wearing a fashion statement during this pandemic, Melania wants others to see her as a mask queen, who doesn’t mask her taste for bright matching colors in the midst of pain and suffering.
