Truth is stranger than fiction.

That Saturn pic is so weird, that I don't like it. I know it's backlit form the sun, and I read that what we see on the planet is a reflection from the rings, but it's still looks so... weird. The whole thing looks so unreal.

Not that I think they faked it, it's just... whoa.

Looks like that was enhanced. Still an amazing shot though!

It's probably not a reflection, but rather scattered light from the rings.

Yeah, because 10 divided by 2 is 5.

That's like saying take any number, add 1, subtract 2, add 1, and you always have the same number.

Word problem time!
If any number equals X then the above statement converts to:
(X*2+10)/2-x=5
If this statement is true for only one value of X we will be able to solve for that value. If its true of any value, it will disappear into a nonsense statement like X=X, 0=0 or something like that. So . ..

(X*2+10)/2-x = 5
(X*2+10)/2 = 5+X
X*2+10 = 2*(5+x) = 10+2X
2X+10 = 2X+10
2X = 2X
X = X
QED It works for any value of X

We could do that ourselves by carefully crafting a simple equation and doing a bit of algebra on it to disguise it.

Anthony Bourdain featured that show when he visited Tokyo in Parts Unknown. He said it was the greatest show he'd ever seen.
