Join Leo the Lion, Luna the Rabbit, Zara the Zebra, and Monty the Monkey—the brave Number Knights—on an epic quest to save their magical kingdom, Calculasia! When the evil Lord Oblivion steals the Golden Equation, the source of all math magic, the friends must solve puzzles, crack codes, and use their math skills to restore balance. From counting rivers to shape-swamp rescues, this adventure is…

they tried to rebrand as The Criminals but riz is literally the city council's treasurer and also turns out people in their late 20s don't really name their friend groups. so now they're The Intrepid Heroes

There is a theory that the way children play serves as a means to simulate and prepare them for the tasks they'll take on as adults. So for all the narrative weight both Jinx and the story give the boxing machine at the arcade it would never have prepared her or the kids to take on Piltover.

What are the two things that Piltovans excel at over their Zaunite counterparts to keep the hierarchy? Weapons and technological development.

When you look at the way Piltovans invest in their children, they don't prioritize hand to hand/melee combat training. Piltovans focus on giving their children experiences in handling firearms, a pursuit that is both leisure sport for the wealthy and a key offense against dissenting Zaunites.

And from the show notes even Jayce, whose family occupies the upper middle class, was sent on educational excursions across Runeterra to explore the world and learn what it had to offer. Without Jayce's education abroad he would never have been inspired to pursue the concept hextech.

It's no wonder that the two figures that are set to be Piltover's biggest threats from Zaun are Jinx and Viktor, becasue they engaged in the same kinds of games and activities as their Piltovan counterparts.

Jinx didn't have an entire forest preserved to help her practice her sharpshooting like the high houses of Piltover, but she did excel in the few games at The Rift (the arcade) that built on her talents. She's the only Zaunite thus far who's long distance offensive is a strong counter to Piltover's forces.

Viktor couldn't travel the world like Jayce did, but for better or worse he managed to stumble into an opportunity to get real opportunity in research not offered to his peers through Singed. It was through that experience that Viktor knew to turn to Singed when he was at the end of his rope, and the consequences of that will be fully realized in season 2.

Ironically, the kind of skill the boxing game champions is only good for keeping other Zaunites in line. Vander's days of fighting Piltover were way behind him when we first met him, and Vi spends season 1 primarily fighting other Zaunites. It's no surprise the Zaunites who embody the old ideal of strength in Zaun that the game portrays, Vi and Vander, are largely at the mercy of Piltover and end up collaborating with them to avoid further harm.

Zaun's future as an independent city-state couldn't happen if they stuck to their old ideals. The people who stand a chance against Piltover are the ones that not only succeed but excel at playing Piltover's games against them.

Zoro is good at math is my brain juice of a hc rn. MATHS?!?!? And ZORO?!?!? yes

And it's all fun and games, "I love Zoro and I love maths 😁😁😁" but arithmetic is literally my death so I am looking at him with some jealousy. You can solve like real tough math problems and then CRUMBLE when adding things and multiplying a bit. I guess it's Tumblr-shaped brain damage 😢

I wanna do content about it rn but also I have like 0 time. eh. And also I have 0 idea how to comics ??? I wrote out more thoughts on this hc in tags which I am lazy to move here but check them out

accidentally deleted the ask from kitty anon elaborating on tutor!changbin but it’s most definitely on my mind ><. something about buff men in glasses.. and he’s smart too!! i wouldn’t doubt that he’d let you sit on his lap, dick buried inside you while he lectures you through the material, thorough and patient as if he wasn’t burning to rock his hips against you. his large arms would encage your own body, guiding you through the lesson, and it feels as safe as it gets having his chest pressed onto your back, his voice sultry and low against your ear.

on the opposite end, if he’s got the time to spare, he wouldn’t hesitate to tease you. bin likes to have his two fingers buried deep in your cunt, thumb just barely rubbing at your clit, all while he’s reading the questions off the pages like nothing was wrong. gotta study at the campus library? he’s already ahead of the game, asking you to slip a vibrator into your panties that he’d left at the lowest temperature, gradually increasing the speed and intensity each time you’d get something wrong. your head would be pounding by the time you manage to complete the assingment, and changbin can tell how much you’re holding back.

expect to have his cock pounding into you while you’re bent over the table when the session is done, allowing you to render brain dead on his dick after studying so hard. he’ll fuck you until he knows you’ve got nothing on your mind except for the feeling of him stretching you out, watching himself slip in and out of your cunt through the fogged lenses that rested on the tip of his nose. binnie loves telling you how proud he is of you all while his thrusts push his cum from your hole, letting it run down your thighs while his large hands grasp your waist. he takes a lot of pride knowing that your marks always end up significantly higher, though he refuses to tutor anyone except you.

14 different toppings, 3 toppings per pizza, can make 364 kinds of pizza...

what math did Dave do to get this.

ok wait i'm doing calculations . Image description in alt text.

using combination / nCr formula, you can get the answer.

now the next question is how the hell did he do that all in his head .

Was nobody going to tell me that Oscar was one of the grid kids holding flags at the Australian gp which was also happened to be Max's F1 debut or was I just meant to do the math myself -

[sapphorror]

my top controversial Zim headcanon is that Zim actually performs absurdly well at skool because

1. he's a perfectionist with a compulsive reaction to ANY system of scoring

2. I 100% believe test scores are this guy's forte because he had to become an Invader SOMEHOW and he sure as hell wasn't passing based on the practical

3. He has hyper-advanced alien AI to do his homework for him. like come on.

meanwhile Dib is really only scraping by on raw intelligence and the inherent educational advantage of having a mad scientist father. He doesn't have TIME to study, there's an evil alien he has to stalk and besides, you know what's better than a high school diploma? The Nobel Peace Prize for proving the existence of extraterrestrial life.

Students have returned to schools in the restricted area in H2 of Al-Khalil/Hebron after 206 days of school cancellation due to the fear and continued oppression against Palestinian students. Education has been online since October 7 because the Israeli Occupation Forces prevented any Palestinian child from passing through checkpoints to school or any other place within the restricted area. The Israeli Occupation Forces have finally reopened the checkpoint for passage for students and teachers. Abu Al-Rish and Al-brahimi Mosque checkpoints are partially open, while Al-Salaymeh and Jaber remain closed. Despite this oppression and violence, teachers were at school gates and checkpoints to make sure that students arrived safely. Both teacher and students were excited to resume in-person classes.

I ain't gonna lie, the Numberblocks fandom is scary in some ways, when I joined it I thought it was going to be people admiring how easy this show explains maths, even how they explain advanced math stuff, some silly content here and there, but what I've discovered with the pass of time actually surprises me and scares me too, controversy, inappropriate stuff, drama... I will not let that stop me from enjoying this show, just hope the fanbase could be a bit better!

The truly annoying thing about college is that I'm kind of expected to be a top performer because I actually buckle down and do the work. I don't even do it that well, I just do it, and so I get decent grades (not phenomenal, but good) and I'm considered a good student. There are other kids who are waaaaaaaay smarter than I am. When it comes to raw intelligence they have me beat all hollow--they instantly pick up on topics I have to grapple with for days or weeks of careful study. They will easily answer a question that takes me four or five minutes of puzzling over to solve. But they're flunking out because they refuse to study. They're failing classes because they won't submit work. I'm only considered a good student because I muddle through it and actually submit assignments. Imagine how much better they could be if they actually studied for their exams or didn't wait to work on their projects until the day they were supposed to be submitted.

Being an actual high school student and still having to save the world is so insane to me. Imagine saving the city, getting beat up, which makes you late to school, and then realizing you dropped your homework while flying to your first period class. I would lose my mind!!

i get why ppl hate the vips acting but i love it i think its so funny

Speaking of AU babies: I've been thinking a lot about an AU where Ibuki meets Rowan, because Ibuki would adore him- but instead of making it a nice AU where everyone is happy and Ibuki just isn't in the Shishigumi I'm thinking about Louis never leaving the Shishigumi and Rowan being raised in the Black Alley Market.

Now he can have a whole host of new and exciting issues! And they're much worse!!!
