Hi All,
I am reaching out as I was working through a problem that I could use additional eyes on for explanations. Without trying to duplicate the problem from the creators word-for-word, a similar problem is basically:
A. Mike and Tim are equally funny.
B. Mike and Tim are both equally funny.
What's the group's thoughts on the right answer and the "why?"
Thank you,
Ryan S.

Daresay, B is a bit redundant.

The first one is correct. "Both" is a word we use casually (as in B) that on the GMAT would be wrong. "Both" is to introduce two things, that are going to be joined with an 'and.'
If I'm going to say "Mike and Tim are both equally funny," the thought is incomplete. It needs to be something like "Mike and Tom are both equally funny and extremely kind." That is, 'both...and...' is building parallel structure.
When you want to convey the meaning B is clearly trying to convey--that both of the two are funny--you should say "Both Mike and Tim are equally funny." Though... now that I write that out, I feel like that is also wrong. That's not saying they are equally funny as *each other*, it seems to imply both of them are equally funny to *someone else*, who should be mentioned.
"Both Mike and Tim are as funny as Sarah."
I think they best way to say they are as funny as each other is what A says: Mike and Tim are equally funny.
