"101" is the urban slang for the basic starter course in the first year
at college. That's what I'm surprised you don't know.

It's American slang, known in Britain mainly by those who've had business
dealings with Americans.

Or watched a bit of American TV over here.

One would have to be pretty dense not to understand: "Hey dude, that's
math 1.01".

Not give what the answer actually is

I assumed it meant school level (any why not?) - but, as I have learnt
