    Miss Cheerilee informs Applejack that she never passed elementary mathematics. Since every pony in Equestria is legally required to understand rudimentary math, Applejack must retake and pass a basic exam in order to avoid going back to school.

    Sounds simple enough, right?

    Those last two... I caught that. (So AJ's secretly an alicorn?)

    Oh yeah. And it reminds me of Billy Madison.

    Ha, Its sad I kinda what to see a story with Applejack attending school now with her sister just for the lols.  The last question was funny as hell.

    It is my greatest pleasure duty to point out a math error. Question #5, 'B' is not a correct answer. 48/(2*9+3)=2.2857142857142857142857142857143 (close but not exact)

    Also, a problem presented on "word problem" notation should be solved with the order of operations going left to right.

    "Really? Well, it’s about time! I’ve been sayin’ forever that the farm animals should do their part for the whole. From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”

    Normally, Applejack would have scolded the little filly for the utterance of such communist principles, but In this circumstance, however, the mare was just happy to actually fib her way out of something for a change."

    This part had me dying. :rainbowlaugh:

    *sigh* Applejack Applejack Appppleeejaaccckkk... the solution is SIMPLE.

    A: Go to the Library with large amounts of apple goodies and gemstones laced with some heavily fermented cider

    B: Get Spike into a giddy, easily manipulated state.

    C: Have the little dragon show you Twilight's 'special' book and magazine collection.

    D: Blackmail Twilight into disguising herself as you with magic and taking all the tests for you, lest you have Spike 'burn' her pron stash and send it to Celestia

    Short, but brilliant. That last one in particular made me laugh.

    Clearly, Cheerilee dislikes the farm pony's willful ignorance of the world of academia.

    ABUSE THE ADMINISTRATIVE POWER CHEERILEE!

    Frankly any curriculum that requires Earth ponies to pass tests on Magical Theory or High-speed Flight is stupid. Earth ponies wouldn't even need to know anything except maybe the basics.

    Also, yay for lol's!

    Funny fic. I did like the communist quote with Applebloom. I expected the right answer to be C. Didn't know it was a trick question.

    >>1222402 Haha the way it's written, there's no possible way to distinguish if there's parentheses or not in the question. The question is a pretty famous troll-math problem :trollestia:. If you do the order of operations the way it's written, the answer is 219. However, since it's written out in words, any answer cannot truly be 100% correct.

    Arr, Cherilee be trollin'. Seriously? How could one possibly treat an Element like that and expect to get away with if? Also, Applejack's hoofwriting can't possibly be worse than my handwriting. Heh, I could probably show Cherilee a thing or two about what I've learned...

    >>1222472 ehh... not really. It's just there kind of to add to the ridiculousness of Cheerilee's actions. However you can interpret it like that if you want to. I might be able to do something with that, idk.

    Order of Operations says #5's answer is 219, but if you didn't memorize the Order of Operations, you'd be in tears.:applejackconfused:

    And now I have to wonder what prompted Cheerilee to look through old school records in the first place, particularly Applejack's.

    Maybe the Cutey Mark Crusaders went too far and this is part of Cheerilee's roundabout plan to get someone to start wrangling them in?

    Or did Applejack accidentally snub Cheerilee during the Cider episode?  Hmmm, so many possibilities:applejackunsure:

    This would have been a lot funnier if it didn't paint Miss Cheerilee as a smug bitch (read: butcher her character). Humorous premise but I couldn't enjoy it very much due to that.

    "And in breaking news, the Civil Guard have begun an investigation after respected Ponyville educator Cherilee was found battered to death in a shallow grave just inside the Everfree Forest.  Sheriff Lock Up has refused to speculate on suspects or motives but revealed that they are looking for a mare with an abnormally strong double-buck kick.  Also unexplained was the bonfire of what appeared to be exam papers nearby."

    "'This isn't the work of a disruntled student', Sheriff Lock Up added at a press conference early this morning.  'Whoever did this was a near-full-grown mare and was almost freakishly strong.  Finding the person capable of this violence before they lash out again is our top priority!'"

    "Ponies with any information are asked to contact the Ponyville Sheriff's Office.  Mayor Mare has announced that there is a reward of 2,500 bits being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction of the pony responsible for what she descrbed as this 'unprovoked and heinous crime'."

    "Now over to Warm Front with the seven-day weather report..."

    "But AJ, why do we hafta move to Appleoosia?"

    "Ah just need some time away from Ponyville, Applebloom! Whats th' matter? Don't y'all want to see ya cousin Braeburn and play with them Buffalo calves?"

    "It's just that me, Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo were trying to get our Bounty Hunters' cutie marks by catchin' the person who killed Miss Cherilee!"

    "CONSARN IT! WE ARE GOIN' TO APPLEOOSIA RIGHT NOW!!!"

    Actually, the answer of #4 cannot be determined since it was never mentioned how many apples Duskflower originally had :P
