“I saw [the Marion, Ohio Police Department] on YouTube, when a boy, a first grader, called the police with a problem,” Lena told InsideEdition.com. “I thought they would know math, and they do.”

Draper sent this message: “I’m having trouble with my homework. Could you help me?” She quickly got a response from Lt. B.J. Gruber, who runs the department’s Facebook page. “OK, with what?” he responded. She told him the problem that was confusing her.

“Do the numbers in the parenthesis first so in essence, it would be 37 x 15,” Gruber responded, according to the Marion Star.

Lena’s mother, Molly Draper, posted the interaction on her Facebook page. Lena then asked Officer Gruber for help on solving (90+27) + (29+15) x 2. “Which one would I do first?” she asked. Gruber told her:

“Take the answer from the first parenthesis plus the answer from the second parenthesis and multiply that answer times two. Work left to right doing the work inside the parenthesis first.”

His heart was in the right place, but not the order in which to do the equation. As a result, she got the question wrong, according to Columbus TV station WBNS.

One Facebook user attempted to school the officer saying, “Order of operations… PEMDAS! (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication & Division, Addition and Subtraction). For future reference.”

Gruber told the station he hopes people will give him an “A” for effort.

“Hoping it is truly the thought that counts since apparently, I cannot!” he joked. “Especially since the answer was wrong, it was very nice for Molly to acknowledge our attempt to help her daughter with some math homework.”

The math may have been wrong, but the intentions were spot on, which is why Molly Draper is impressed with Officer Gruber.

“I didn’t believe her and asked for a screen shot. I thought it was pretty funny. And I love that they went ahead with it,” she told ABC News.

She’s the coolest chick in England right now.

This is Esther Okade’s five-year plan:

– Graduate from Open University with a degree in math

– Earn her Ph.D.

– Begin running her own bank

She expects to cross these goals off of her to-do list by the time she’s 15 or 16.

Plenty of girls her age have expressed equally ambitious dreams, but Esther isn’t just daydreaming from a sandbox at her elementary school playground. She’s already an undergraduate at Open University — and, at only 10 years old, she’s currently at the top of her class.

She’s not just a math prodigy; she’s a math devotee. In an interview with The Birmingham Mail, Esther speaks about math the way most kids speak about macaroni and cheese. Or the way prepubescent girls speak about Harry Styles.

According to The Telegraph, Esther’s mother, Efe says her daughter wants to be a millionaire. And, if we know anything about Esther, she won’t have any trouble counting her money…
