That was just a simple trick I got off a random website.

2+2 is most certainly not equal to 5.

Do you want me to show you two others so you can prove it wrong?

They probably divide by zero, take the log of a negative number, or something like that.

No, they used Square Roots. As you should know, an equation usually has as many solutions as its highest degree.

For example, X^2 = 1 has two solutions, -1 and 1. Does this mean -1 and 1 are equal though?

lets use imaginary numbers to resolve this problem

z= ai + b

where:

i is the imaginary part

we can make b = 0, because 0 is a neutral number

i = √(-1)

i ²= -1

i⁴= 1

i⁴ + i⁴ = 2i⁴ = 2(1)* = 2

i⁴ + i⁴ + i⁴ + i⁴ = (i⁴ + i⁴) + (i⁴ + i⁴ )= 2i⁴ + 2i⁴ = 2(1) + 2(1) = 2 + 2 = ?

but you can put it this way:

i⁴ + i⁴ + i⁴ + i⁴= 4i⁴ = 4(1) = 4

and since

i⁴ + i⁴ + i⁴ + i⁴= i⁴ + i⁴ + i⁴ + i⁴

then

2 + 2 = 4

*1 is the neutral number of multiplication

note: I just made that one up using the imaginary numbers (i don't know if they are called the same in english) I learnd my math in french and some times the name change but not the numbers ;)

note 2: this is not a real theorem i made that one up

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

I wasn't talking about that problem up there. I already explained the issue with that one way up above. You asked this question: "Do you want me to show you two others so you can prove it wrong?" I was responding to that. I was guessing they were the other ones where it divides by zero, take the log of a negative number, etc.

I would use the scientific method, and take 2 dumbasses, and another 2 dumbasses, and then count the total. I would do this ten billion times, and then write a scientific law that 2 + 2 = 4. Then I'd kick you in the nuts.

The power of deduction is hardly scientific. If I see 100 white swans, then the 101th swan must be white aswell...

All science starts with definitions. How do you define 4 and 2?
