Combined Mathematics Final [Friday 12-21, Period 4]

[notanactualfairy]

"The time has come," the Canadian said, "to talk of many things. All of them are math. And you will be writing them, rather than speaking." Jean-Paul was not mean enough to give an oral exam.

Jean-Paul momentarily disappeared, and there was a breeze around the classroom. Then he was back in front of his desk and each student had an exam. "You may use calculators and scrap paper. Begin."

The only reason it took Adah as long as it did to complete her final is that she was putting mathematically pleasing lines of iambic pentameter (some of them backwards) in the margins on pages that hadn't already been filled with her work. Assuming that the occasional poetical distraction wouldn't count against her, Adah would have easily passed the test (freaking math genius that she was).
