In mathematics, the riddle "How do 5 and 9 make 2?" can be solved using modular arithmetic. If we take the sum of 5 and 9 (which is 14) and then take the remainder when dividing by 12 (as we are working in modulo 12 arithmetic), we get 2. Therefore, in this context, 5 and 9 "make" 2 through modular addition.

Well, honey, 5 and 9 make 2 only in the world of riddles because when you spell out the numbers, "five" has four letters, "nine" has four letters, and "two" has three letters. So, technically, 5 and 9 make 2 when you count the number of letters in each word. It's a sneaky little riddle, but that's the tea!
