A cute sounding phrase, which is 99.99% bullshit, that is used to justify the high royalties demanded by half-baked math authors in academia, or the high fees charged by most overrated textbook math consultants or general editors (who are notorious in giving cosmetic feedback to a manuscript).
Educational publishers in Singapore reluctantly give in to trickle down mathematics, hoping to increase the odds of their approved textbooks to be adopted by more local schools, by displaying as many PhDs on their book covers.

Get the Trickle Down Mathematicsmug. An invisible sticker that is pasted on any Christian by their Protector, Deliverer, and Healer, as promised in Psalm 91, where God promises to shield all believers who abide in Him from any pandemic, plague, or pestilence.
When the devil works overtime to make you doubt whether or not you are really under God’s protection because of your sins or addictions, just show him your Covid-free sticker.

Get the Covid-Freemug. When some corona variants see themselves more powerful or attention-grabbing than others, because of their higher rate of infection, transmission, or destruction.
Just when the UK and Indian Covid-19 strains thought they were the most dangerous viruses plaguing the world, the Vietnamese or North Korean variant could outwit them both, thus showing that the viral inequality between present variants and new hybrids is getting wider over time.

Get the Viral Inequalitymug. A “tuition nation” where your grade six exam score more or less determines your future—the fear of failing and not getting into a school of choice reduces your chances of a decent or quality education, because the top or popular schools have “better teachers” and more resources.
Because of its high-stakes exams, Singapore is probably the world’s most stressful country for a child to experience a normal childhood—and she will be at a disadvantage if her parents can’t afford to send her for private tuition.

Get the Singaporemug. Short for “Singapore’s Gifted Education Programme,” that has sulked up so much taxpayers’ money, yet has achieved so little—an elitist programme that equates high academic achievement with giftedness.
At best, Singapore’s GEP—every parent’s secret desire for their child to get into it—creates the illusion of nurturing individual creativity, when it actually breeds conformity and produces academic snobbery among its members.

Get the Singapore’s GEPmug. The coronavirus’s motto until its days on earth are numbered—when the chances of its deadliest strand winning the viral war are near-zero; henceforth, it would journey to hell and to other galactic regions to claim more lives.
Ms. Corona had to compromise with Lucifer, who wanted her to adopt the slogan “I kill, therefore I am.”; instead, the Father of lies decided to let her use “I infect, therefore I am.”

Get the I infect, therefore I am.mug. One of Trump’s latest notorious numbers, with reference to the number of fake votes the Commander in Cheat wanted Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" to overturn the election results won by his presidential opponent in the state.
In a math test, a high school teacher in Georgia challenged his students with the following questions:
1. Factorize the number 11,780.
2. Show that 11,780 divides 39¹⁰ – 1.
1. Factorize the number 11,780.
