Ms. Lee's son Taotao is a pupil in second grade of Zhenghai Experimental Primary School in Ningbo, Zhejiang province. In this year's summer holidays, Taotao told his mom the homework was too hard. Ms. Lee thought maybe Taotao was lazy when it came to homework. So Ms. Lee checked Taotao's homework, then Ms. Lee was genuinely stunned by Taotao's homework. "2/3 frog=?" "feet-footwear+grassland=?" Ms. Lee couldn't come up with an answer at all. At last, by many joint efforts from Chinese netizens, Ms. Lee found out the answers to the bizarre questions are "having a beginning but no end" and "stand on solid ground", both of which are Chinese traditional idioms.

Later, more strange questions are found in the exercise book for second grade pupils of primary school. "What is maple leaf + streamlet?" "What is a sneeze + a sneeze + a sneeze?" "What is dad + mom + me? " Ms. Lee said: "Even the adults can't solve these problems, what way of thinking are the bizarre questions trying to teach the children?"

However, there are some other people who have a positive attitude towards these bizarre questions. "Children can stretch their brains with these divergent thoughts." Ms. Sun said. She works in a collage and has been engaged in innovative training for collage students. She said: "These questions can train the creative thinking of primary school pupils. You don't have to care whether their answers are correct. The key purpose is to let children think in a different way."
