Is half of two plus two equal to 2 or 3?

(2/2)=1
1+2=3
Answer: 3
Isn't that what it's supossed to be? I mean, this one is not new, and the trick is that one would think something like: ((2+2)/2)=2 and that would be wrong. But I don't know... I guess it works either way, it's all up to whatever the questioner wants.

Also, I didn't know there were 50 cent coins here...

Also, I don't understand the one about the haystack... Why 1?
