Final number, say

In the small town of Maplewood, there was an annual math competition for grade school students. This year, Jane was determined to win first place. The final round of the competition was intense, and Jane was feeling the pressure. The moderator announced the final question, “What do you call the remaining number after all deductions have been made?” Jane’s heart was pounding. She needed to think fast! Suddenly, it hit her: “NET!” She shouted out the answer, feeling confident that she had it right. She was relieved when the moderator confirmed that she had answered correctly. Jane was ecstatic to become the winner of the math competition. From that day onwards, she remembered the crossword clue ‘Final number, say‘ and its answer ‘NET‘ whenever she thought about her victorious moment.
