Once my student raised his index finger and middle finger at once then jokingly asked me "What number is this?". The answer is usually either two (the amount of fingers raised) or eleven (because those fingers form two 1s).
Me: "Five."
Him: "How can it be?"
Me: "Roman numeral."
Him (looking at his fingers): "Uh, yeah. Right."
