Theory: 2 + 2 = 15

SELECT 2 + 2 FROM DUAL;
SELECT 1+1 + 1+1 FROM DUAL;
SELECT TO_CHAR(1)||TO_CHAR(1)||TO_CHAR(1)||TO_CHAR(1) FROM DUAL;
SELECT to_dec(TO_CHAR(1)||TO_CHAR(1)||TO_CHAR(1)||TO_CHAR(1),2) FROM DUAL;

Of course, you'll need Tom Kyte's binary conversion program here to execute
this very weak proof:
