Except capital income can be hidden in other countries, still giving an unfair advantage to the super rich.

The surface area increases if you flatten something out while maintaining the volume.

The bumper is usually made of plastic. If you had to put bumper sticker on the car, the bumper is a very good choice.

That would also tank the stock price though.

Soon they may come with cellular capacity. Cars and e-bikes already do.

You gotta Faraday cage it!

No because 4 is the obvious wrong answer. 21+3 my isses idea completely.

4(exclamation) is wrong while 4(factorial) is right.

I think the smugness of someone who knows factorials is also part of what makes it fun.

No the joke is that first think they got wrong, then realize it's a factorial so they got it right (the a-ha moment!).

Then we realize that they might not have gotten it because the wrong answer is 4 and they may not know of factorials.

The ambiguity is very clever. Some other commenters call it a pun.

4 != 24 but also

4! = 24

4! = 5-5/5

 

Maybe this is why pi was chosen for half of the circumference of a circle.
