Day Zero

The day when you wake up and are 100% free from any bondages of a boss, because you are now getting paid without having to work—you have graduated from a tired-and-broke entrepreneur (who used to slave for sixty to eighty hours a week for yourself to avoid working forty hours a week for someone else) to a passivepreneur.
From Day Zero, you no longer need an alarm clock as you could sleep through until you feel like waking up to have your breakfast at any time of the day.

1 + 2 = 3

The solution to the equation a + b = c, where a, b, and c are consecutive integers; or where b = a + 1 and c = a + 2.
If 1 + 2 = 3 and 4 + 5 + 6 = 7 + 8 are the first two terms of a sequence of equations, what is the sum of the third equation in the pattern?

DEI Math

Short for “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Math.” Math products or services that right-wing math educators and MAGA parents have chastised for their “woke” content, and have called on their lawmakers to censor them from their states to protect the young minds from “foreign indoctrination.”
Some Singapore math publishers have apparently been warned by some white Taliban curriculum censors in some red states—they need to remove pages that promote multicultural or DEI math, such as depicting Chinese, Arabic, and Hindu numerals for the numbers one to nine, or stating that the theorem named after Pythagoras was known to Chinese and Egyptian mathematicians long before the Greek numerologist was born.

Piapple

An apple with π markings all over it, which is used as a cure for people who desire to overcome the fear of appearing foolish, as they conspicuously carry the defaced fruit around in public squares.

A Chinese three-stroke character or surname that is pronounced as “wù.” As an adjective, it means rising to a height; towering; flat top; or bald.

Masked by Pi

When a formula looks more complex than it is because it contains the constant π, whose sight or sound often frightens those who suffer from math anxiety.
Guesstimate how many mature students worldwide are reluctant to sign up for short math or statistics courses to upgrade themselves, because they are masked by pi.
