OK FReepers, one or two of you have been to high school (I think). Give me your opinion.....

What's 2 plus 2? :dunce:

[Chan790]

1. 5?

5?

2 (++) AND 2(++)

++ + ++

5.

It's 5!

[MissMillie]

4. only for very large values of 2

:silly:

[Cabcere]

13. Hehe - a math professor I know has a T-shirt to that effect

which he enjoys wearing to confuse his classes, I think. :P



He did explain it to me, though, in the following manner:

If gas is $2.49 9/10 per gallon, it can be rounded down to $2.00 (since the actual price is under $2.50). But if you buy 2 gallons of gas at $2.49 9/10, the total amount is rounded up to $5.00...therefore, 2 + 2 = 5 (for very large values of 2). :silly:

2. There is no such number. It's mere existence is a myth created by the liberal media.

[skygazer]

3. Gay marriage will roon Murika!!11!

You're 2 plus 2 is an evil plot to inflict a Muslin precedent on us all! I no what your trhing to do!

[KamaAina]

Might as well 'fess up.

Muslim men are permitted FOUR wives according to the Qu'ran.

Islam itself has FOUR principles, FOUR archangels, FOUR sacred months. And so on... :tinfoilhat:

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. The Bible sez its only 1 plus 1!!11!!!!1!!!

6. creationist math

On a physics test, if a circle is said to have a diameter of 10 feet and the student is asked to compute the circumference, the correct answer is 30 feet—not 31 feet.

The reason 31 feet is an incorrect answer is because it implies a precision that is unwarranted by the given information. The value 10 feet indicates that the diameter has been rounded. Perhaps it has been rounded up from the exact value of 9.5 feet, in which case the exact diameter would be 29.845. . . feet—which rounds up to 30 feet.

14. I thought you were joking, but no - it really says that.

not surprising they believe dinosaurs kept men as pets.

[pokerfan]

16. Amazing, isn't it?

Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Since crying accomplishes nothing I generally to go with derision.

9. Two sets of (1) plus two sets of (2) equals six.

:P

[Odin2005]

10. 22, obviously!!!

[Capn Sunshine]

11. The answer is that it's none of the gummints business

and no one from Big Math is gonna make me say otherwise

[Cabcere]

12. Oh, where to begin...

I'm sure some of these have been covered already, but:

- 2 and 2 are Arabic numerals, and therefore EVIL MUSLINS!!1!!eleventyone!!
- Adding numbers is like adding resources together and that's OMG SOSHALEST!!!!
- If same-numeral additions are permitted, what's next - equations involving letters and numbers? OH NOES, ALGEBRA*!!11!
- "Plus" is a big word!

...yeah, I don't know, I got nothin'. (It's been a long day and I'm getting to the point where nothing I post is going to make much sense anymore...)


*Also an "evul MUSLIN!!" invention, I believe.
