The computer malfunctioned and sucked her up with its black hole setting. She wanted to learn more math, harder math. It was her favorite subject, and using difficult algebra would help her break out and be able to land planes. It was her job! But, she basically knew all the math already.
She knew algebra, geometry, and what they learn in high school. Then she found a way out of the computer. She hired viruses that she found on Wikipedia to break it apart, so she could transport through the screen. And ever since that day she was free and the smartest person in the world. She knew everything in the world because that was a side effect from being in a computer. She knew all the math, even the hardest equations. The End.
