December 5th, 2005

A CIA operative trained in handwriting analysis is discharged due to unorthodox maneuvers. She moves to some small mundane central US town and becomes a grade school math teacher. Using her training she is able to determine if the children actually do their work or simply copy it out of the back of the book. Forced to actually learn, the kids are quickly revealed to, with the exception of young Marcus Sniggerbottom, all be exceptionally bright mathematicians. Together they form a group to take part in math competitions and quickly excel to the national level. Under the guidance of their teacher, the group utilize their public recognition and mathematical genius to solve the case she was originally discharged from!
