When they finally hear the answer to the clever riddle, there will be a "Ah ha!" moment, which is generally a lot of fun.

I can prove why 1 = 2

* Lets say y = x
* Multiply through by x xy = x2
* Subtract y2 from each side xy - y2 = x2 - y2
* Factor each side y(x-y) = (x+y)(x-y)
* Divide both sides by (x-y) y = x+y
* Divide both sides by y y/y = x/y + y/y
* And so... 1 = x/y + 1
* Since x=y, x/y = 1 1 = 1 + 1
* And so... 1 = 2

How is this possible?

It can be easily calculated that the digits 0 to 9 can be arranged into 3628800 distinct ten-digit numbers.
