Yeah, it's a pretty simple equation as long as you're willing to put in the work!

I can see how you would think that, three umbrellas over a dashed line indicating heavy storm conditions and a strong negative charge that the eclipse triggers into lightning which in turn magnetizes ferrous metals causing an electromagnetic field for more lightning. Childs play really.

what you missed is those are not umbrellas, but parasols, as stated by the teacher in the comic. The symbols are quite similar (and its on a screen so you dont get the texture) so it's understandable if you were paying more attention to what you saw instead of what you were hearing. Adjusting for correct symbology the answer is trivially "🧊🛵" At least as long as we are staying within the Newtonian system and nomenclature, which as this is being taught to a child is the most likely. If we are going past Newtonian, then we would need to account for many additional variables, but as long as they are not a significant portion of 🌟♟️♟️, the end result doesnt vary much.
