An interesting problem was recently brought to my attention.

I like that one. Here's another less thought provoking oldie:

We put you in a room and fill it with deaf people. Given the room
is now quite crowded, we remove dead people, but add bad people.
How many people are now in the room?

That could be BAFfling...

... but wrong.

How?

deaf-dead = 2, 2 + bad = baf, no?

May not be, but if not, ???

You never left the room.

Um, you didn't say "we you in a room and _add_ deaf people..." Phrased
the way you originally phrased it, wouldn't I be including in "deaf
people?" I'm not a math geek, and I've never heard of this "oldie," I
just thought it was more of logic thing with hex - f to d and back to f,
but ??? I could understand it if it spelled something, but including me
makes it bb0, no? Is that something hilarious to math prof-types or
something?

I would still knock you in the head and take your money along with
the others. I would be the baddest person in the room. there would be a
lot of dead people in the room . All those who woud remove them would also
be dead. so , the answer is no one alive. I would leave with yours and
theirs money. problem solved
