5. Assume they are about to do something REALLY REALLY bad.
And that's why they are sending up a smokescreen.

8. What I would do...
1. Check on six different calculators
2. Use Excel 2001 on the Mac to cross-check
3. Use Excel XP on a Windows machine to cross-check that
4. Call a math teacher and ask her
5. Take an average of all ten responses
6. And still assume the WH was lying!

9. godard's answer
In order to know what two plus two equals, you have to know what plus means.

14. Make them prove that there were any twos in the first place
for them to add. If that fails make them prove the number two (it is harder then you may think.)
