Mind-boggling but not difficult problems posed by that special Wayside School teacher, Mrs. Jewels (remember the computer dropped from - was it the window of the 17th story - in the name of science). Weird and not very reproducible here but here's a few examples: moth + took = hmmmm; mom + mop = yoyo; four + eight = twelve is impossible.
