A fruit of seduction by the devil to the woman when she was together with her other half in the Garden of Eden, from the beginning, as though she needed one to get excited when a strawberry would do.
The apple is like the fruity equivalent of the “unlucky Friday 13,” which has received such a bad press from superstitious folks, who would blame the date for anything that could possibly go wrong on that “evil day.”

A postmodern form of geometry that promotes flawed thinking, where the correctness of a proof is relative—for example, in a geometric figure, if an angle looks right, then it is unquestionably taken to be ninety degrees; or if a line segment appears straight, then there is no reason to doubt otherwise.
Trumpian Geometry seems to exhibit the pattern of assumption-intimidation-conclusion, where answers to geometric problems are countries-dependent—for example, the answers to most questions when solved in Russia, Saudi Arabia, and North Korea are the same, but are situationally different elsewhere.

Assuming that all infected patrons at the sleazy location each went on to share the virus with two other persons, what is the reproduction number R₀ for this cluster?”

One of the most popular metaphors in mathematics, which allows students to grasp the idea of the sequence of numbers—for instance, the further apart two numbers are from each other, the greater the distance between them.
The number line is a powerful visual tool that enables us to make sense of the arithmetic of integers—for example, why the difference of two negative numbers can produce a positive number.

When people in a meditative or prayerful state are unprovenly more likely to graduate to a semi-conscious or hypnotic state, or are more prone to experience a trance, if they don a face mask for paranormal or unexplainable reasons.
What percentage of masked folks who practice yoga as a transcendental activity rather than a mere breathing exercise are likely to reap the spiritual or occultic “benefits” of mask meditation?
