It happened between two shows one day. Bunny was working on her English homework, Beulah on on her science homework, and Bubbles on her maths homework.

She stopped when she reached a certain question, having tried so many times to work it out herself with a pencil, and with a hole half rubbed through her paper from the eraser. And she turned to her sisters. 'Have either of you done the maths worksheet?'

Beulah lifted her head first. 'No. Why?'

'There's an impossible question I just can't answer,' Bubbles replied.

'It can't be that impossible,' Beulah said. She took the sheet from her sister, took one look at the question, and put it right back in front of her. 'No, that is impossible.'

That caused Bunny to put down her book. 'Let me see.'

Bubbles handed Bunny the worksheet.

Bunny looked over it. She read it and read it, and even reread it. But she couldn't make sense of it either, shaking her head and handing it back to Bubbles. 'Maybe get one of the adults in here.'

So that's what they did. Beulah put her head out the dressing room door and saw Wendell passing, so she called him in.

Wendell read the worksheet and was just as stumped as the triplets. He admitted he wasn't good at maths, so he went to get someone who was.

That "someone", ended up being Teddi. Teddi, confident she could solve the maths problem took the sheet with a light smirk. That evaporated when she saw the question.

'I'm sure this is a typo.'

'It's not a typo,' said Bunny.

'How do you know it's not?' asked Teddi.

'Because the worksheet was photocopied from our teachers' own textbook,' said Bunny. 'The super teachers who made the book for our teachers couldn't have done a typo.'

'What's a typo?' asked Beulah.

'An error when typing,' said Teddi. 'I'm still not convinced it's not a typo. I'll go check.'

So Teddi went to consult someone who knew a lot about typos. Her boyfriend, Henry. Henry was excellent at English, maths, and playing guitar. But he couldn't solve the mystery of The Question. So he handed The Question over to The Five Bear Rugs.

Admittedly, the bears were brightest sparks - nobody was sure how many times any of them had to retake the fourth grade. But that meant they knew a lot about the kinds of questions they asked. Ted attempted to answer the question (4), Tennessee shook his head and muttered, Zeb scratched his head hoping Oscar wouldn't be asked these kinds of questions, while Fred refused to answer it, saying it wasn't his problem. Then The Question was palmed off to Zeke.

Zeke tried a few times to help the triplets answer The Question, but with each failed answer making him feel more and more like an idiot, he turned it over to the resident pretend drunk.

Big Al predictably didn't know how to answer The Question either, so he slipped it under Ernest's door.

Ernest held the worksheet in his paws, attention drawn to the messy hole at the bottom caused by an eraser.

From there, the worksheet only got more damaged with a wine stain from Trixie, an oil stain from Rufus, a water stain from Terrence, and a note from Gomer in Sharpie reading; "I can't answer this - good luck!'

Eventually, the worksheet made its way to Liver Lips, who took Bunny's pencil in his paw and worked the equation out on a nearby blank piece of paper. He then handed it to her.

'You figured it out?' she asked.

'Yeah,' Liver Lips said with a nod. 'It's real easy - you just gotta carry the one.'

Maths questions are downright impossible sometimes. If you have like ten others at your disposal to help you answer a maths question, you'd take advantage, for sure.
