Lateral Thinking, p 46

Since the "Mathematical Fun" went over so well, I thought I'd change the subject to English.
The verb 'to be' is unusual in that it has three different singular forms:
'I am', 'you are', 'he/she/it is'. Is it ever correct to say 'I is'?
The answer to "Mathematical Fun" is now posted [and then temporarily removed]. Even if English isn't your forté--you can still try your hand at this one...

    Yeah--you can call it "tricky"... or "out-of-the-box" thinking--whichever sounds more dignified to you : )
