A girl of the age of twelve was doing her math online one day, when suddenly she noticed something strange, all the even numbered problems had even answers, but all the odd numbered problems had odd answers. When she told her best friend she was advised not to tell anyone else, “If your mom finds out she might make you change curriculums,” she said.

Reluctantly the girl agreed not to tell. However, as time went on she began to notice more and more patterns in her math problems, for example every prime numbered problem had a prime number solution. The lesson number would be the solution to the problem numbered with the lesson number divided by the number of digits. At first she was fine with knowing this information, but as time went on and she discovered more and more she started to feel guilty. Leading to a phone call to her best friend in which she said, “I can’t keep my findings a secret any longer, it’s wrong. I’m not actually solving the problems anymore, I’m just typing the answers. I’m going to have to tell my mom.”

Of course her friend argued with her, mentioning the fact that she had skipped a grade and had a near impossible average of 100%, but none of that mattered to the girl, who knew what she was doing was wrong. So of course she told her mom and her mom changed her curriculum.
