@FreeHelp In the computer language CoffeeScript, 2+2? is 3.

The first 2 causes the whole expression to be calculated as a number.

The question mark asks whether 2 exists, and 2 does exist, so the answer to that is true.

When true is converted to a number, the result is 1.

2 + 1 is 3, as you would expect Winking

@RarelyCharlie I love this answer! I recently graduated with a degree in Computer Information Systems, and I tell you... I see people who come off the hip with stuff like this and feel so out of place in the field LOL. Guess that's why I don't work in CIS yet. This is a super cool answer!

@FreeHelp 22 is a master number. It's said to be the most powerful number in numerology, so long as the supporting numbers are there. From numerologynation.com: Number 22 is also a master builder who is able to turn dreams into reality no matter how enormous and impossible it might be.
22 could also be the end of the party years... because the one drinking age year enough? LOL. 22 is the age you pull yourself together. HA!
