The Sum of five and nine is thirteen (sic). (but actually the sum is fourteen)

(But... back to discussing English/grammer - "the sum" is singular)

Seven and Eleven is Slurpee.

I knew you couldn't stump me!

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

five "plus" nine 'equals' fourteen
or five "added to" nine "equals" fourteen


one thing I really hate is grade school teachers that will "plus" two numbers (it's 'add' two numbers)

or 'times' them (or even does the Gollum thing and "times-es" them
or 'minuses' them

at least they are talking at the same educational level at their targetted brainwash victims

or five "added to" nine "equals" fourteen

so does that mean that five "and" nine would be fifty-nine? Or simply indeterminate, until one could determine which particular meaning of "and" was to be inferred?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

My work here is done now.

I work with these folks, too. Their job is to read everything as though they were martians, and unable to make any assumptions about context, unless the context leads to misunderstanding.

They go along with mandatory sentencing...

OK, new (sort-of related) riddle, but one not worth wasting a new thread on:

1. Green Bay is playing in the championship.

2. Manchester United are playing in the championship.

Which is correct? (Or should that be which are correct?)
