Group Of Friends Try Primary School Math Paper On Their Flight

Travelling can be tiring, especially when a long flight is involved.

However, one group of friends from Singapore came up with a unique activity to kill time during their journey.

On Saturday (11 Feb), Xin Ying, aka @chongxinying66 on TikTok, posted a video of herself and her friends boarding a plane at the airport.

Instead of sleeping or watching a movie during the flight, they decided to complete a Primary 6 (P6) Mathematics paper and compete to see who did the best.

Netizens were deeply amused by the video, which has garnered over 168,000 views at the time of writing.
