Old joke: Bill Gates walks into a bar. On average everyone there is a millionaire

I more like my high school math teacher explanation: "Put your one hand on dry ice, another in the boiling water. On average, you feel warm and cozy"
Except dry ice is -100 and boiling water is 200 so you feel hot and not cozy.
You're just adding the temperatures, you then need to divide by 2 to get the average - so it's actually 51.35 fahrenheit (10.75 celsius).

That's a really old joke. :)

Here's a new one. Musk goes to a concert. On average everyone there is a billionaire.
