i got in one of the most drawn out arguments ive ever had with an intelligent person about this... he kept insisting it was a mathematical anomaly despite the fact that i explained it to him several times... i now question how intelligent that guy is...

I know I am not the sharpest tac in the box, but this one kinda had me going for a while. The whole time I knew the math was right, just something funky in the wording thats makes the dollar dissapear.LOLOL
Thanks guys, kinda funny right?

oh no im not hating on people who dont get it initially... its actually a neat little logic trick, however, i just couldnt believe that after i has explained that trick to this guy that he still couldn't get his head around it. the image of him shaking his head and saying, "no, man, its just an anomaly" is still pretty funny to me.
