I always wondered why 2+2 didnt equal 5, but now I have PROOF! HAHA, AHA, HA, ha.. heh. ovO
Anyway. PROOF
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
So simple, I can't believe I never though of it this way.
allow me to put this here...

1+1=1
Solve that.

Seems like proper proof.
Long story short: No, no it doesn't.
Could work like this: (From same thread): 2 (lbs @ $1) + 2 (lbs @ $1.50) = $5 but we're not working with that.

Okay.
a = 1
b = 1
a = b
a2 = b2
a2 - b2 = 0
(a-b)(a+b) = 0
(a-b)(a+b)/(a-b) = 0/(a-b)
1(a+b) = 0
(a+b) = 0
1 + 1 = 0
2 = 0
1 = 0
1 + 1 = 1

With use of "false" proof
I have a easier solution:
You have 1 pile of dirt, and you get another one, so you put them on top of eachother, now you have one big pile of dirt.

Technically, he's not.
A pile of dirt and a big pile of dirt are two different measurements, it's like saying: 1 apple + 1 apple = 1 melon.
It doesn't make sense because they are not the same thing.
Also a bloody genius would be an absolute mess. He wouldn't even be smart, he would need a doctor.Also in your first one you suddenly forgot your minus-sign and your brackets weren't right...
"Which can also be expressed as: (2+2) 2 (9 X (2+2) = 52) 9 X 5" --> that was one of many mistake: 288 = 2340

I don´t think that you´re the smart one if you say that dirt and dirt isn´t the same thing.

Pile < Big pile
But if you think it is the same...
Lets divide candy, you get a pile of it and I will get a big pile. Seems fair, doesn't it.

I second this! A story about a bridge sounds nice.

Yes, pi, who could forget about it?
This thread is blowing my mind!

Ergo: 2+2 - 9/2 = 5
Two plus two is four.
Nine divided by two is four and a half.
Four minus four and a half is minus one half (-0.5).
This is called a rounding error.
Quote from: Captain0Ron on 2012 Jul 02, 05:20:29
(a-b)(a+b)/(a-b) = 0/(a-b)
1-1 = 0.
0/0 is still dividing something by zero, which does not result in a tangible number.
Pretty much every part of your workings here is wrong.
Did you use a calculator? If not, I suggest you use one to double check your logic.
If so... Then you need to look into the subject more. And perhaps find a new calculator.
I'm going to lock this thread as it's straying off topic. Next time I see a mathematics thread, I'd like to see it more on topic, and with less wild guesses at what the answers are.
