Unrealistic or nonsensical word or story problems, routine and nonroutine, that may or not be solvable—however, most of them serve to humorize, parodize, or satirize mathematics.
One question from “The Bigly Book of Fake Math Problems” is the following: “At a Trump rally, if 10 coronaviruses infect 10 diehard supporters in 10 minutes, how many of these foreign viruses will be needed to infect 100 supporters in 50 minutes?”

Two otter math questions from a Singapore math problem solving book are:
1. At a recent otter attack at a church’s fish pond, five koi fish were swallowed up, while the remaining partially eaten fish were left with one or two eyes. From the 17 koi fish in the pond, the verger found only 16 eyes. How many koi fish lost only one eye?
2. On average, what percentage of fish in a pond get eaten by an otter family every time they terrorize a condominium located in some posh area of Singapore?

Math Core is typically defined as Death Metal vocals with Progressive Metal music, utilizing odd meters such as 7/4, and changing keys and tempos constantly.
Named "Math"core because of the complexity of the music, rivaling that of classical composers, not to be confused with neo-classical metal
Math Core typically contains the same make up as a metal band, with 2 guitarists, a bassist, drummer, and singer. but sometimes these come in a power trio, with a guitarist, a Warr guitarist, and drummer.
