- Luna: That was the last exercise.
- Sandra: Not bad. You’ve factorized twenty terms and I only had one nervous breakdown.
- Luna: Would you like to play some cards before returning home?
- Sandra: Oh, I’d love to play a game…
- Sandra: … as long as it isn’t “I spy with my little eye…”

@ Samwise Clemens:
Combine that with her thinking RACOONS are DOGS, and, well… why do people think she is intelligent?
So we get the point that she isn’t good at mathematics from these factors:
a) Sandra is very adept at math. She is trying to teach Luna math, and she explicitly had a nervous breakdown. If we haven’t known that Sandra is good at math, we would draw the conclusion that Luna is better than Sandra at math.
b) Luna’s old math teacher had also screamed in terror at how bad or good (it has to be an extreme here) Luna is at math. Considering that Luna is delighted to get some help from a peer, it has to be the former.
c) Luna mistook raccoon for being a species like primitive dogs, which emphasized the point that she is not very adept as a scholar.
Wow. That was my home once. Honestly.
Ahn… She’s smart then?
Some folks here said that she could do some crazy Lovecraft-level things with math, hence the teacher went coo-coo and why Sandra had a breakdown. But I thought it was due that she wasn’t very bright in the first place, hence the ealier “raccoons are ancient dogs” strip.
I might be wrong, but that’s the vibe I got xD

Table not sold, to play Magic: the Gathering on it.
Thanks for the charlie hebdo banner (I think this is not advertisement but on purpose). I feel sorry for them.
@ Xiro:
That was exactly what I was thinking… Like I think Sandra has been acting WAY too extreme with the whole “Luna isn’t good at math” thing
@ Topomouse:
I was about to ask the same question. What is going on here?
@ M Wilson:
I had friends like that when I was a kid too.
Woah….that’s…..no I’m not going to be insensitive, in these times this sort of thing is common.
I’m pretty certain cards means playing cards which can actually be bought at a dollar store.
Probably that she’s really really bad at it, so she factors 49x^2-28x+4 as something like ‘(49+2)*-28*4 @ Topomouse:
