If "there's nothing two sticks of Twix can't fix," then what can one
stick of twix fix?

Please provide a good argument for your answer and supportive
reasoning. I expect that some formal logic might be involved to
postulate and prove the answer.

Hello djjensen47-ga

One stick of Twix could provide the alternative for a snack if you?re
counting calories. While the fat content is a bit high, it?s
recommended that snacks are under 200 calories. With a caramel Twix
bar, both sticks are 280 calories, however, 1 stick, being 140
calories could fix the need for a snack/chocolate/sweets craving if
you?re watching calories. It?s not the healthiest snack, but it is
under the recommended calories and you could get two snacks a day out
of one 60-cent candy bar. I also agree with Tutzdad?s comments below.

?What constitutes a light snack? Basically, your snacks should contain
no more than 200 calories??

Well, this is a good practical nutritional answer. However, I was
looking more along the lines of an answer to a logic game.

If you have two things, you can fix (or repair or solve) anything.
What can you fix if you only have one of those two things?

I think the answer is that you just don't know. You may or may not be
able to fix anything.

I would have to say you could be right. However, you can also have a
good snack while you're not fixing anything :)

A "great answer" can only come from a "great question" and my question
was not great. However, the researcher should not be penalized for
choosing to answer a mediocre joke-like question.

Two negatives make a positive. Therefore, the statement
"there's nothing two sticks of Twix can't fix"
implies that two sticks of Twix can fix everything.
Therefore, one stick should fix half of everything.
(A half-assed solution to the world's problems, I suppose.)

When a rural bumpkin tried to mend some torn photographs by using a
melted Twix bar, he did not succeed. The next day, the local newspaper
published an image of the farmer and his ruined snapshots, with this
headline:

Twix Stix Fix Hick's Pix? Nix.

re:  Rambler-ga's comment:  
Everything is infinite, half of everything is also infinite (DJensen
wanted some formal logic), so a second Twix stick would be
superfluous.
I would say that the implication is that two sticks of Twix can fix ANYthing.
Therefore, one stick can only half fix anything or fix only half of anything,
which isn't completely fixing anything at all.

It can fix half of nothing.
