Sleep Math

--The method of calculating on your fingers the possible number of hours you can sleep after being up later than you wanted.--

Sleep Math is usually only done when you know you have to get up early, wished you could just sleep in, and are stressing because you're afraid you might not get enough sleep.

With a normal, not exhausted brain, you could probably do this math in your head. However, since you are tired you have to go back to how you did math as a child, counting on fingers.
(Couple intended to go to bed 'early' this particular night, and instead, stayed up way late talking & watching old episodes of The Sopranos.)

After finally brushing teeth and getting ready for bed, girl notices guy using his fingers to count something, like this 30+ man is all of sudden a 5 year old--

Case Math

A form of applied math usually learned in college (but outside of the classroom) that involves figuring out just how many beers from a case are rightfully yours. When splitting a case (commonly a 30 beer case of Keystone Light or Busch Light) with friends, one will usually perform a quick mental equation of the portion of the case that belongs to them.

It's been theorized that Case Math is the only form of math that's actually worth two fucks.
Ed: Just picked up a 30 rack! You, Alex, and I are splitting it.

*you and Alex quickly perform some mental case math and both deduce quickly that each guy gets 10 beers*

OR

*Ed is trying to give a girl a beer out of the shared case, in hopes of getting her drunk and hooking up with her.*

Ed: Hey, I'm gonna give this girl a beer from our case, cool?

You: Sure, but that comes out of your beers, me and Alex are still drinking our 10. And you'd better close, too.

Thailand Math

Math questions on food, drinks, and consumer items (toothpaste, lipsticks, skin lotions, etc.) that contain cannabis or its derivatives, which poses a health or moral threat to concerned or conservative parents, pastors, and politicians.
A raw math manuscript, which defines “green products” as those containing marijuana in controlled amounts, was leaked out to some expatriate teachers in an international school in Bangkok. One such Thailand math question is the following: “Two green cookies and a cup of green coffee cost 415 Baht. Three green cookies and two cups of green coffee cost 710 Baht. What much is a green cookie?” Answer: 120 Baht.

Fake Math

A term used by those who know beforehand that they don’t stand a chance to pass their math test or exam unless they resort to lying, cheating, or bribery—they often blame the teacher for bias against them, practicing unfair grading, or setting unrealistic or artificial questions that are confusing and open to different interpretations.
Guesstimate how many Trumpublican students in red states every year would scapegoat fake math for their failure to get a passing grade in their middle- or high-school math paper rather than putting in the time and effort to master the math concepts.
