Running out of ideas for the weekly game night with friends?

One group of young adults decided to give themselves the mother of all challenges – a Primary 5 maths exam.

In a TikTok video posted by a member of the group, Gladys Yuen, the group comes across stacks of exam papers at a book sale and decide to see how well they’d fare on the maths paper. You know, just for fun.

Pouring themselves a glass of red wine, they toasted to their “brain cells” and began the examination – without calculators, mind you, because rules are rules.

However, for the group of friends, they went for a more grown-up version instead: wine.

Question 1: Find the base of the triangle.
Seemed simple enough, until Gladys realised the answer she had wasn't even listed in the multiple choice.


 While the OP (Original Poster) initially seemed confident of herself when she understood the question, she realised that the answer she had in mind was not listed in any of the multiple choice options.

 As they moved to the fourth question, some of her friends could not solve the question.

Complains that question has too many words
As the OP and her friends continued with the paper, they got stuck on a question involving a character named Mr Loh.

Out of frustration, one of her friends even cursed at Mr Loh as she was struggling to solve the question.

Okay, but maybe do a quick textbook revision first.  

Whether the OP (Original Poster) and her friends managed to solve the questions, they definitely looked like they were having a lot of fun together.

In fact, she told MS News that she also encourages others to try out this activity, noting it was “hilarious” to see how much she and her friends have forgotten about primary school math.

Would you try this activity out with your friends? Let us know in the comments.

‘What is the closest time to midnight?’: Maths question for kids causes confusion



The problem was posted on Twitter by user @yawdmontweet from Jamaica, who said the question 'hurt his head'.

On the face of it, it is a rather straightforward question.

But a maths question for children about time that was posted on social media has gone viral, racking up 1.4 million views after leaving people vacillating between more than one seemingly valid answer.

The problem was posted on Twitter by user @yawdmontweet from Jamaica, who said the question “hurt his head”.

The question was: “What is the closest time to midnight?”

The following options were provided as potential answers: A. 11.55am, B. 12.06am, C. 11.50am, and D. 12.03am.

https://twitter.com/yawdmontweet/status/1671654277201133572


Social media users appeared to have been thrown off by the question, and commented with different answers.

Many thought the answer was D. because it is only three minutes away from midnight.

But others countered that 12.03am is the closest after midnight, not to midnight, because time moves forward.

Going by that logic, the answer should be A, they said, since 11.55am is 12 hours and 5 minutes to midnight. 12.03am would be 23 hours and 57 minutes to midnight, and thus the furthest.

Many Twitter users disagreed, arguing that the question relates to proximity, not chronology.

Some respondents said the question was confusing because of how it was worded. There was no indication of “which midnight” the question was referring to.

For one person though, the answer was simple: ask artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT.

 Do workouts before the test?

Exercise improves memory and focus. Exercising consistently, and right before an exam can improve your performance too. A study done by Dartmouth College, published in Neuroscience, showed that for those who exercising regularly, exercising right before performing a mental task significantly boosts your performance.

 Take risk? You may float or sink depending on your skill to survive.
PHOTO: Take risk? You may float or sink depending on your skill to survive.
While floating just at the surface, you need to keep your mouth and nose above the water to breath. There are a lot of orientations you can have that will make you drown, and only a few that will allow you to breathe. So, to survive, you need to be calmly managing your position. If you are panicking and flailing (wave or swing wildly) around, the chance that you are in a good breathing position are slim to none.

 Staying positive during difficult times
PHOTO: Staying positive during difficult times
Positive psychology is not about denying difficult emotions. It’s about opening to what is happening here and now, and cultivating and savoring the good in your life. Growing evidence suggests that positive psychology techniques can indeed be valuable in times of stress, grief, or other difficulties. They may also help you develop the resilience to handle difficulties more easily, and bounce back more rapidly after traumatic or unpleasant events.

Be more mindful - Mindfulness is the practice of purposely focusing your attention on the present moment and accepting it without judgement.
Share some kindness - Research suggests that people who volunteer their time tend to be happier than those who don’t. Those who give charitable donations may even get a small mood boost.
Practice gratitude - Gratitude is a thankful appreciation for what you receive, whether tangible or intangible. With gratitude, you acknowledge the goodness in your life. -  By Julie Corliss, Executive Editor, Harvard Heart Letter

Man is but a reed
the most feeble thing in nature
but he is a thinking reed - Pensées (reflection) by Blaise Pascal
There is no need for the whole universe to take up arms to crush him: a vapour, a drop of water is enough to kill him. but even if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than his slayer, because he knows that he is dying and the advantage the universe has over him. The universe knows none of this.
