The students take a 50 question timed test and have to do it under three minutes,  They have been practicing three days a week since October.  Students were also asked to do math fast facts each night for homework.  Each year Mr. Lai makes the same agreement with his class.  If they all pass their math facts then he shaves his head.  He has had to do it five times.
