Are you smarter than a 5th Grader? Those who are could’ve probably answered this mobile hotspot’s password question.

Twitter user @BUKOJUICE, who would like to be identified by her first name Effy, shared a now-viral tweet over the weekend of a person’s mobile hotspot that asks a familiar science question: What is the powerhouse of the cell?

Luckily, Effy — who badly needed an internet connection —  knew the answer was “mitochondria.”

“Thanks for the wifi,” she wrote on Saturday.

Special shoutout to all science teachers: you guys rock!

Effy told Coconuts Manila that she’s a first-year college student studying at the De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute in Dasmariñas, Cavite. She said she found the mobile hotspot on Saturday afternoon while she was studying for her biochem exam at the school library.

She said, “The school’s wifi was acting up and I saw the hotspot so I gave it a shot, it worked!”

See, all that studying has a purpose!

To this day, Effy still does not know who owned the mobile hotspot, even though her tweet has gone viral.

The tweet had over 26,000 likes and 3,800 retweets as of this article’s posting. Netizens shared their own answers in the thread:

We know a RiRi fan when we see one.

Another user by the handle @edwardsramirez wrote: “Marianrivondria,” referring to Filipino actress Marian Rivera.

 

One answered with the actual answer. “Password is [mitochondria],” wrote @jamestapic00.

“I hope all [passwords] are like this,” said @jessicaaira.

“[Here’s a] tip,” added @kamkemkim_.

“[This is] witty,” shared @besideyoukath.

One user with the handle @sorasenseidesu said that it was a “good idea.”
