Well, 1+1=2 is okay, I suppose . . . But it's only when you get to 2+2=4 that you begin to generalize! ;-)

I '1 + 1' is really '2', then why don't you try solving this...

Three friends were splitting a hotel room. The room cost $30, which means $10 to each. As they were going to their room, the clerk said "Wait, there's a special, and the room is only $25."

The friends were appreciateve and told the clerk to keep 2 dollars as a tip. The clerk then gave back $1 each, so they each paid $9 and the clerk kept $2, which totals $29.

So what happened to the other dollar?

Yeah, but 2+2=4 is still 1+1=2 multiplied by 2
