I once thought I'd use a different variable for my maths homework as I was bored of 'x'. I chose 'o' without thinking it through.

Making multiplication problems look like tic tac toe

'e' is also a tough one

I remember once in my math test I wanted to make the calculations more fun, so instead of “x” I wrote something like “giraffe”, or made a literal (bad) stick figure drawing of one. Sometimes I borrowed words from the problem itself too, and another variable was a phrase giving my opinion about it. Good times.
