Proof that 2 + 2 = 5

Start with: -20 = -20 Which is the same as: 16-36 = 25-45 Which can also be expressed as: (2+2) 2 (9 X (2+2) = 52) 9 X 5 Add 81/4 to both sides: (2+2) 2 (9 X (2+2) + 81/4 = 52) 9 X 5 + 81/4 Rearrange the terms: ({2+2}) 9/2) 2 = (5-9/2) 2 Ergo: 2+2 - 9/2 = 5 Hence: 2 + 2 = 5 This was calculated in Gaelic BTW.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DrFetusFondler You seem to be arguing with many of these Forum-goers about whether or not your mathematical equation is correct. I'm not saying you are wrong nor am I saying your a right, I am simply stating that you showed no work and in many, if not all, mathematicians eyes, your answer would be considered incorrect. This is not a matter of opinion but of sheer fact. So in FACT your explanation (your equation) to whether or not 2 plus 2 equals 5 is wrong.[/quote] [url=http://www.google.com/imgres?q=serious+sloth&um=1&hl=en&client=opera&sa=N&rls=en&channel=suggest&biw=1366&bih=568&tbm=isch&tbnid=XfUO0yRRVeAjlM:&imgrefurl=http://www.funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/1226709/Serious%2BSloth%2BBro/&docid=S26Hkg-meJe6zM&itg=1&w=259&h=194&ei=6pJgToKDD46gtwe-6d0R&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=420&vpy=119&dur=432&hovh=155&hovw=207&tx=105&ty=56&page=1&tbnh=135&tbnw=189&start=0&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0]This[/url]

  • I don't believe this is so. He showed no work, therefore my opinion is correct.

  • Your notation is absolutely atrocious. Of course, the fact that you arrived at the result 2+2=5 indicates that your method is little better.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Disambiguation [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Phoenix9508 Okay, Okay, I know why this is wrong. What you're essentially saying is 2 times 0 is 0. Well no -blam!- -blam!-. That's a property of mathematics. All you brainiacs who think you can disprove that math is a system of rules, psh.[/quote][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del's_incompleteness_theorems]Skidoosh![/url][/quote]I'm going into trig, and that uses too much cross-referencing. Let me just say that according to that "lemma" you had there the value of a and b could ONLY be 2. And as long as the number was 2, the value of those expressions could only be 0. I don't understand why the argument isn't simply. 2(0) = 1(0) 2 = 1 And you can't divide by zero! I just realized this!

  • and let me go on record by saying this; Math was 'invented'. There will be things that are wrong, no matter what... even if mathematically sound. suck it, brainiacs!

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Disambiguation [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cr4zyd4wg Maybe we could properly prove that 2+2=5, unlike the OP. [/quote][b]Lemma a[/b]: 1 = 2. [i]Proof.[/i] Let a = b. Then a^2 = ab, so 2a^2 = a^2 + ab. Then 2a^2 - 2ab = a^2 - ab, which factorizes as 2(a^2 - ab) = (a^2 - ab). Cancellation yields 1 = 2. QED. [/quote] 2 = 2 2^2 = 2*2 2(2)^2 = 2^2 + 4 2(2)^2 - 8 = 2^2 - 4 8 - 8 = 4 - 4 2(4 - 4) = 4 - 4 0 = 0 Okay, Okay, I know why this is wrong. What you're essentially saying is 2 times 0 is 0. Well no -blam!- -blam!-. That's a property of mathematics. All you brainiacs who think you can disprove that math is a system of rules, psh.
