give me 5 dollars and then I'll give you a dollar back and tell you that it's half of 5 and run off giddy as a little girl

This is actually more of a riddle, involving two different number systems. The first is actually spelling out 5.

FIVE

Now take away HALF the letters, specifially the F and E. That leaves you with IV which in roman numerals is 4! So, half of 5 is four!

In mathematics it cannot. In appearance, you van get this "result" using Roman numerals:1 + 5 = I + V = IV = 4.

It can't. The 1 must be negative. -1 + 5 = 4
