Problem
If in a parallel universe, apples are orange and oranges are red what is 2+3?
Solution
Since the parallel universe seems to have reversed everything, we can see that 2 becomes 3 and 3 becomes 2. This leads us to 100 and 66 because 2*50 and 3*22. Add them together and put one of those check looking hats on the new baby. This gives us our answer.
