When locals’ and aliens’ mixed attitude vis-à-vis otters and their apparently manageable growing population on the “fine” city of Singapore provides a fertile ground for math educators to pose a number of brain-unfriendly questions to challenge exam-smart symbol-minded students.
Two otter math questions from a Singapore math problem solving book are:
1. At a recent otter attack at a church’s fish pond, five koi fish were swallowed up, while the remaining partially eaten fish were left with one or two eyes. From the 17 koi fish in the pond, the verger found only 16 eyes. How many koi fish lost only one eye?
2. On average, what percentage of fish in a pond get eaten by an otter family every time they terrorize a condominium located in some posh area of Singapore?

Math Core is a sub-sub-genre to the ever poplular metal and Death Metal.
Math Core is typically defined as Death Metal vocals with Progressive Metal music, utilizing odd meters such as 7/4, and changing keys and tempos constantly.
Named "Math"core because of the complexity of the music, rivaling that of classical composers, not to be confused with neo-classical metal
Math Core typically contains the same make up as a metal band, with 2 guitarists, a bassist, drummer, and singer. but sometimes these come in a power trio, with a guitarist, a Warr guitarist, and drummer.
Protest the Hero, Human Abstract, Behold...the Arctopus are my favorite Math Core bands
Damn I wish I had the Skill to be in a mathcore band

An activity typically undertaken by single women between the ages of 27 and 33. The objective of "doing the math" is for the woman to determine the youngest age at which she could earliest enter into a marriage and, later, have a child. The end result being that the woman determines the extent to which she will lower her standards.
Krystal: "Chrystal, I'm almost 30. Do the math. If I met a guy today, it would be at least two years before we get engaged, then another year to get married and then another year to live together before we might start trying to have a baby. That means I would be at least 33 when I have my first kid. I don't want to be 33 when I start having kids! Do you know any single guys?"
Chrystal: "No."
Pete: "I'm 30 and single."
Steve: "So?"
Pete: "....."

A problem-solving heuristic or strategy that is not a product of imported approaches or procedures—for example, a deductive proof in geometry is unmistakably Greek in origin.
The bar model method, which is a mix of strategies from China, Russia, and the US, can’t be labeled “organic math”—ironically, this commonly known “Singapore model method” is anything but native math from Singapore.

When math editors in Singapore would prostitute themselves for financial gain, by condoning practices like changing authors’ names to foreign ones when their titles are sold overseas (earning them zero royalties), or reusing their contents for similar titles without their permission.
Hoping to receive a fat bonus or secure a fast promotion, some editors of Singapore math textbooks have no qualms about condoning the dirty tricks of Babylon math to get ahead of their peers, or to join the management team in the shortest time.

This magic math bullshit is whipping my ass.

an awful site that gives you an overload of homework and then doesn´t let you log in giving you an f as an average grade week after week.
teacher: have you done your math whizz
student: how could I it doesn´t let me log in
teacher: thats an twentieth F in a row
