Grade 5 math is always the answer! I saw someone in University level calculus "simplify" all of their derivatives by taking the "d/dx" cancelling out the "d"s so they got "1/x"... I don't think that they did too well in that class!

Actually, that's a good point.
1+1 = 10 (for base-2 binary arithmetic)
1+1 = 1 (for a logical-OR function in software engineering)
1+1 = 2 (for base 10)
Hmmm.... as the computer engineers will tell you, there are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand binary math, and those who do not.

Obviously we need a couple of airplanes that can get us all to Vegas and funding for the trip to figure this out.

1+1 seems about right for a pilots pay so I say = 500$
