A university football coach called out the new member saying, “Look, I’m not supposed to have you on this team because you failed your maths exams but we really do need you to play for us. What I’ll do is ask you one simple maths question and if you answer it correctly I’ll sign a slip to say that you’ve passed maths, OK?’
The player nodded. “Right” said the coach: “What’s four plus four?” The player wrinkled his forehead and thought for a while, then replied, “Eight!”
Immediately all the other team members shouted,” Aw, come on coach. Give him another chance!”
