At a glance

What a problem looks like

One grade-school word problem in the selected language. The answer, the numeric answer and the worked equation are not part of the prompt.

Read an actual problem

How it is scored

The source ships the answer, the numeric answer and the equation; this catalogue keeps all three in restricted storage and never renders them.

Why it is hard

The arithmetic is elementary, so anything lost against the English score is lost in the language, not the mathematics — including in languages with little presence in training data.
