Mathematical Slowies

Non-trick or non-tricky math questions that you can do at your snail’s pace without worry or fear of having to sit for any killer test or exam—they are recommended for self-confessed folks who pride themselves of being “hopeless at math,” or not being born with the “math gene.”
Mathematical slowies are the opposite of “mathematical quickies,” which are generally solved with some insight, and often accompanied by an occasional aha! reaction.

Mathematical Do-ness

Forcing or motivating yourself to DO-ing some math to beat your daily laziness, especially if you are glued or addicted to your cell phone or digital device for an unhealthy number of hours every day.
Some mathematical do-ness activities that could help white-collar workers break away from their sedentary lifestyle are:

Walk exactly 6789 steps.

Create an origami geometric shape out of the newspaper.

Learn to do calculus—differentiate and integrate—with a soroban (Japanese abacus).

Count the number of ballpoint pens in your house.

mathematical nominalism

A theory which states that the infinite planes inside of a circle (transfinite space) are orthogonal to the uncountable perimeters of the self-same circle.

Furthermore that the diameter of the universe is 10^14 Planck lengths.
Mathematical nominalism is a corollary of perimeter theory; which states that one perimeter of the circle contains uncountable perimeters.

Mathematical nominalism asserts that infinity and uncountability are separated by 10^14 Planck lengths--a distance equivalent to the entire diameter of the universe.

Mathematical Purrfection

When educators who are cat lovers love to pose creative math questions—and mathematical quickies or trickies—that center around their pets (or “masters of the house”), or are attracted by real-life word problems that embrace the feline family.
Two brain-unfriendly questions that exhibit mathematical purrfection are:

1. At a Cats’ Café, how many cute kittens are there if there are 9 more legs than tails?

2. Guesstimate the average cat bill at the veterinarian over her lifestyle.

Mathematics

The oldest form of torture mainly used against children. Mathematics (math, for short) is also the most hated thing on planet earth.
