another one

as in one of those worksheet questions (and no, I'm not leaving anything out):

If you have 40% of the cookies, what percentage does Mary have?
About which Ricky asked:
Are Mary and I the only ones with cookies?
Bravo, son! Bravo!

Reminds me of that old joke:

Teacher: Suppose x is the number of sheep.

Student: But what if x is NOT the number of sheep?
