Yes, I know that there is another math topic, but this is different. I heard this song that made me lol...

You can't take three from two, two is less than three
so you look at the four in the eights place.
Now, that's really four eights, so you make it three eights,
regroup and you change an eight to eight ones.
And you add them to the two
and you get one two (base eight)
Which is ten (base ten)
And you take away three that's seven.

Now instead of four in the eights place
you've got three ('cause you added one)
That is to say, eight to the two
but you can't take seven from three so you look at the sixty-fours.
From this three you then use one to make eight ones,
you add those ones to the three and you get
one-three (base eight)
Or, in other words, in base ten you have eleven,
and you take away seven.
And seven from eleven is four
Now go back to the sixty-fours,
and you're left with two
and you take away one from two
and that leaves...one!

Have you ever heard a math solution that made you say "What?!"
