I’ve seen competitive programming problems are often embedded in funny stories, for example Forest of Celery and more generally most ICPC-related problems. However, I haven’t seen the same for competitive math problems.
The closest I can think of off the top of my head is a fair number of math puzzles involving absurdities such as killing an infinite number of prisoners and colorful hats, like “infinite number of prisoners and hats” puzzle.
