"Two sons and two fathers went to a pizza restaurant. They ordered
three
pizzas. When they came, everyone had a whole pizza. How can that be?"
Possible answers:
* One of them already had a pizza when they entered the restaurant.
* They stole a pizza from somebody else in the restaurant before theirs
came.
* The one that didn't participate in the joint ordering of three pizzas
placed a separate order for one pizza, which was filled before the
order for three.
* "When they came" refers to when the came to the restaurant--they all
had pizzas before they arrived, but wanted three more.
