Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Mr. Abbott and Mr. Foss had mentioned Flora to him numerous times.

They both said this young lady was a genius in computer science. Mr. Foss, in particular, got pretty emotional, saying it was such a waste for Flora to be in the medical department. He even went to Mr. Garcia twice, trying to get her transferred, but naturally, the dean of the medical department showed him the door.

Mr. Abbott and Mr. Foss made Flora sound like some kind of legend. While he thought they might be exaggerating, he couldn't help but be super curious about her.

"Today, we're starting with a quick quiz. Some questions are beyond competition level, so if you find some too tough to crack, no worries. Just do your best."

Mr. Jurado picked up a stack of papers from the lectern and handed them to Ivan to pass out.

As soon as everyone got their papers, they glanced at the questions, and their faces fell.
