A discount of not less than 19 percent for any buyer of math titles in Singapore, who has been jabbed by WHO-approved vaccines, as long as they show proof of their inoculation at the time of purchase.
To encourage vaccination among the population, especially among those who wished not to be inoculated because of potential side effects or premature death, local publishers in Singapore are resorting to creative marketing to promote a number of their dated Singapore MathⓋ titles.

Get the Singapore MathⓋmug. The tools you need to get the most mathophobic student or adult not to give up on the most disliked school subject even if it appears that they were not born with the “mathematical gene.”
Pep talks, study tips, showers of praise, and no condemnation for failures are some common weapons of math persuasion successful teachers use to help students achieve a decent level of mathematical proficiency.

Ms. Corona has been pretty merciful or forgiving via-à-vis those who scapegoat her for any troubles plaguing the world today—she’s rather tickled listening to all those petty WWCDs floating around her ears 24/7.

Get the WWCDmug. A label for a political hypocrite who votes to acquit a bad or evil person, then condemns them for their unethical, criminal, or treasonous act—named after US Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who acquitted Donald J. Trump of treason, before holding the Inciter-in-Chief responsible for his white supremacist and terrorist supporters’ deadly attack on the Capitol.
In the second impeachment trial of the Commander in Cheat, the Senate’s 57-43 vote shows that there are at least 43 morally bankrupt McConnells who are too petrified to vote against their Divider-in-Chief.

Get the McConnellmug. When more creative work would likely to be produced if companies were to extend the two-day weekend to five, so that employees only report to the office two instead of five days a week.
Since much work seems to get done during the weekend than on any weekdays, isn’t it apt for the workforce to implement a 5-day weekend, with workers reporting to work, say, on Thursday and Friday every week, since most people just love Friday but loathe Monday?

Get the 5-Day Weekendmug. When we deceive ourselves and allow others to deceive us on myths, mysteries, and magic in mathematics, be they via half-baked concepts, faux hypotheses, fallacies, paradoxes, tricks, and the like.
How can we fall for less magical thinking in mathematics? By teaching about faulty thinking habits, exposing false assumptions or hypotheses, warning against unquestioned extrapolation or generalization of rules or formulas, and debunking irrational or conspiratorial thinking.

In emoji, 🇸🇬 🔢 = (🇺🇸 + 🇬🇧 + 🇨🇳 + 🇰🇷 + 🇷🇺 + 🇮🇱) × 🔢—the six main mathematical ingredients Singapore apparently used to bake its own cake, which is now popular among tens of thousands of math educators and homeschoolers worldwide.
