4 by 4 equation.

  A young school lad was off to school one morning. On his way, he saw a parked jeep on the road side with an inscription '4x4' on its side. On getting closer to have a better look, he ponders over the inscription on it and thought of how easy it is for him to solve the equation. Upon looking to the ground he saw a broken piece of glass. With it he marked on the vehicle '=16' right after the inscription 4x4. In a satisfied state, he left.
 Hours later, the vehicle owner came by and was furious to see the scratched marks on his jeep. With no choice he took the vehicle to where the marks were repainted.
  The next day while off to school again, the lad came across this same vehicle still with the equation 4x4, but with no =16. For minutes he thought about it all over again. Did i get it wrong? He asked himself. After more minutes of pondering over this still convinced that the right answer was 16, he took the piece of grass again and wrote =16 on the same spot as of before and then left. The owner came by hours later and was madly cross to see  the mess on his vehicle again of which he had spent much to abolish. Left with barely no choice, he had the marked spot on the jeep repainted again.
 The same incidence happened over and over again untill the man's attention was drawn to the reason of such marks on his vehicle. After much thought on that, he decided to leave the jeep the way it is with the solved equation on its side.
  While on his way off to school the next day, this lad was so delightful to see this same vehicle with its inscription in full 4x4=16. With a satisfactory mind he picked a piece of glass and marked the solved equation 'GOOD'.

what a brilliant lad!
