If we reflect on what he's done,
We'll see we're not insane,
Two men in A, he's counted one,
Not once but once again.

Well... if you look closely at the original puzzle... one of the blokes has been counted twice, so in fact there isn't anything particularly spectacular about it.

Not only has one of the men in A been counted twice, but one of the original 10 hasn't been counted at all.

Yep, the reason for counting one of the men twice is so that it's possible to get away with not counting the last man at all...
