Tiger Math

Brain-unfriendly math questions that have been commissioned by superstitious owners of tuition centers in Singapore—who were unprovenly advised by feng shui masters or charlatans—to freelance writers, as the bosses believe that posing these word problems to their students or tutees would bring them good luck and prosperity in the Lunar Year of the Tiger.
It’s as if traditional Singapore math questions aren’t tough enough for students and their kiasu parents, but now with tuition or enrichment centers terrorizing their students with tiger math toughies in the name of superstition, the Year of the Tiger looks like another mathematical nightmare to those who are already suffering from math anxiety.
