A mind-boggling question
Pretend there's a conversation going that is like this
"X = 2"
"No way! Are you serious"
Now, Person B says this sarcastically:
"Noooo. I'm being sarcastic..."
What is Person A supposed to believe? that
1. He is being sarcastic and x =/= 2
2. He is being sarcastic about being sarcastic, meaning x = 2
3. Blow his brains out due to the complexity of the world and infinite possibilities around him

But does it blend? :o
There are plenty of caveats in simple problems:
sqrt(x^2) = abs(x) = x, and sqrtx = +-sqrt x
or dividing by x, only to realize that it is 0

...What?
He should realize he was being sarcastic when he was sayi ghe was being sarcastic by the tone of his voice. thus extrapolating that x in fact does equal 2.

But by being sarcastic about being sarcastic, aren't you still being sarcastic?
