Or you could put one cookie on the table and ask how many there would be if you add one more. If the answer is still 11, just explain that s/he now has enough cookies to have one a day for the next 11 days, so any cookies still in the jar are yours.
You'd be surprised how fast the smart-alec answers stop.

No, it's not.
“and the smart kittle bugger comes back at you and says, no 1+1=11, and 2+2 is 22 and so on.”
“at some point you have to go back to math which is a very dogmatic and repressive system.”

Confused?
