Dear Tom and Ray,
In my opinion, it is unimaginative of those math people to say that your show cannot have three halves. If you take two apples (just for example--almost any tangible object would work) and cut them both in half, you have four halves. Then you must annihilate half of one apple. Since there is no way to convert a half into a whole (except by changing denominators), you now have three halves. In other words, the problem is that part of your show is missing.
Disclaimer: If you look at my math scores, you might not want to take my word for it, but I think this is a very good idea. Besides, I'm only 14. Still, I like this explanation.
Love,
