When is 2 + 2 != 4?

Drops of water? 2 Drops of water put on top of 2 drops of water gives one really big drop of water.

Also, in base 3, 2+2 = 11

Okay, here's one: how many 1' by 1' by 1' boxes can you put into an empty 10' by 10' by 10' room?

Okay, one for the road...

1) One. After that, it's not empty.
2) 1,000 by one estimate.
3) A bajillion, if you do it one at a time, and remove them after putting them in.
4) Depends on how thick they are when you collapse them.
5) None, since the room doesn't seem to have a door.

One - then it's no longer empty.

Mathematically, the answer is 1000, assuming no overlap among the boxes.

BTW, I'll call defeat on the "turns" one... though I'll probably kick myself for doing so.

The only other thing I can think of is Monopoly and moving on a turn with rolled doubles.

Once happens every time you roll doubles.
Twice happens more rarely - you have to get back-to-back doubles.
Thrice happens never (go directly to Jail with the third roll of doubles).

Though I'm not sure "what is being turned" in this case.

Yeah, the answer was "1" - emphasis on the empty room.

Sheesh! That took no time at all!

Ok, here is another easy 'what am I'

You can rub my head but I cannot shake it,
you can see my tail but I cannot wag it.

You, sir, are a coin.

You, sir, are a coin.

Correct.

I am trying to translate some danish riddles into english, but it seems more trouble than it is worth.
