2x2=5 for small values of five and large values of two. Has been a known feature for a long time. tschus pyotr -- pyotr Filipivich "Bother," said Pooh, "Eeyore, ready two photon torpedoes and lock phasers on the Heffalump. Piglet, meet me in transporter room three. Christopher Robin, you have the bridge." |

Since... 4x(5-5)=0 and 5x(5-5)=0 Therefore 4=5 and therefore 2x2=5 You have not shown By what logic you can replace "4=" with "2x2="! |

Let me explain why: 4x(5-5) = 0 5x(5-5) = 0 therefore 4x(5-5) = 5x(5-5) Now what you want to do is say 4 = 5x(5-5) / (5-5) and therefore 4=5 But you can't do that! That's dividing by zero (5-5) and that's a violation of the eleventh commandment--thou shalt not divide by zero. besides, 2x2 = 100 |

And more to the point, choro performed the forbidden operation of dividing by zero. It's forbidden precisely because it leads to nonsensical results.

besides, 2x2 = 100 Nice try, but no. If you don't state the number base, you have to use the same base on both sides of the equation. Base 2: 10*10 = 100 Base 3: 2*2 = 11 Base 4: 2*2 = 10 Any higher base: 2*2 = 4 -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |
