Mala Math

HOT (higher-order thinking) math questions that give you an intellectual kick to the point that they could temporarily numb your mind before you experience an aha! in solving them—mala is a spicy and numbing seasoning made from Sichuan peppercorn and chilli.
Geeks in Singapore who are attending enrichment math programmes from premium tuition centers have been begging their coaches for more mala math quickies and trickies and toughies to satisfy their mathematical cravings.

Moonshot Math

Hard math projects that would require the best of talents and skills from both mathematicians and math educators regionally or globally, as their monumental effort aims to positively impact the community or society.
Just as landing someone on the moon propelled and produced unprecedented payoffs and unpredictable spinoffs, by creating entirely new markets and industries, solving moonshot math problems has the potential of giving birth to new products and new businesses, and creating new jobs.

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.

Milk Math

When a person combines milk of one percentage with milk of another in order to create milk with a lower fat content.
"Dude, I hate the way 1% milk tastes but I'm watching my weight. So I did some milk math and mixed 1% and 2% to get 1 1/2%. It's not as good as 2% milk, but it's better than 1%."
