Listen this *is* quite funny. I've seen it before and I had a good laugh out of it. It was rather surpricing to being proven that 28 divided by 7 actually is 13.
But it is very hard to demonstrate this in a ascii forum as this is. And quite hard to understand the reasoning when you try to decipher the attempt.
Fiddling with place values, that's all. Although yes, i take your point, it is quite funny fiddling with things like this. I had a lot of a amusment proving that the world was flat, on top of four giant elephants and a turtle. XD

I'm in grade four but in my country we cover Calculus first, the unit circle second, what a triangle is third, and work our way backward to the task of adding cookies to other cookies and subtracting the ones we eat.
Here is Abott and Costello for those of you who aren't as dull as a sharpened bowling ball.

Nice. Having that solid basis, really helps with understanding the intricacies of the cookie problem.
Classic Abott and Costello - I use this in my high school math classes.
