It is fun problem! It is orange problem!
Pick a number from 1 to 3, or maybe 10,006. We'll call it "X", yeah. Well you multiply by two, add 33 minus 13, then divide by two again, then YOU CANCEL X OUT! It's not feeling proud, and you're stuck with the crowd. The crowd of ten.
Break it down now! (X * 2 + 33 - 13)/2 - X = 10. You can reduce that! (X * 2 + 20)/2 - X = 10. So X + 10 - X = 10.
It's like if you put an orange on the table, then cast a spell to duplicate, then put 20 apples on the table and take half of the table away. You got 10 wormy apples and one delicious orange. So you take that orange back, and what do you get? Something that doesn't rhyme.
Just ten wormy apples.
Doesn't matter how many oranges you put on that table, you gonna take'em all away, aren't you, you greedy orange hogger! I guess the wormy apples are still good though. You could just dump out the worms and stick the slimy stuff in the garbage and make an apple pie!
