The use of emojis instead of letters or symbols in questions, equations, or expressions as an attempt to lure those who are not so symbol-minded to math.
An example of emoji math is to calculate the value of each item from the following pair of equations:
2 🍩 + ☕️ = $3.90
3 🍩 + 2 ☕️ = $6.60
Answer: 🍩 = $1.20, ☕️ = $1.50.
2 🍩 + ☕️ = $3.90
3 🍩 + 2 ☕️ = $6.60
Answer: 🍩 = $1.20, ☕️ = $1.50.

Get the Emoji Math mug.Think of maths and times that by 10, no pun intended, this is by far the worst torture any child could face. The person who created this was rather the devil himself or just a huge maths geek. They took the child out of childhood. They even put an “x” at the end to try and be funny, haha! This website though, is the biggest waste of my life, you have to write everything down even if you know the answer. Most of the math nerds in my class think it’s great but the small minority of people with common sense (like myself) realise what garbage this website is. if your school just signed up for sparx maths, rest in peace, my friend

An 1814 issue of “The Analyst” poses the following slavery math problem: “If out of a cargo of 600 slaves, 200 die during a passage of 6 weeks from Africa to the West Indies; how long must the passage be that one half the cargo may perish? Supposing the degree of mortality to be the same throughout the passage, that is, the number of deaths at any time to be proportional to the living at the same time.”

It’s a common sight to see that a number of first-rate mathematicians are heavy smokers, especially when they need a break from their half-baked proofs; however, less commonly known is that the more daring ones would consider marijuana math, hoping for an aha! experience in the process.
