2 + 2 = 4: The Final Frontier

Do we reckon 2 and 2 is definitely equal to 4?

Last time I checked it was 4 .

Don't even joke about that...pink elephants are nasty beasts

Are you using the decimal numeral system? If so the answer is correct

Well i would have to agree that 2 + 2 will always equal 4, Unless of course we just go ahead and throw the basic principles of mathematics out the window, Then it could be easily equal to 5.

That of course is not the question here.

You wrote it 2 and 2, Meaning the answer is clearly 22.

actually, you're quite wrong:

Assuming "2 and 2" is a mathematical object, the answer is 2. (by way of BitAnd[2, 2] )
Assuming "2 and 2" is referring to arithmetic, the answer is 4. (by way of 2+2)

I kind of realized it when she said she lost her bag and purse but... then again I'm a girl when I go on the old saturday nights out as a missus.

Oh and "2 + 2 = 2 + 2". There is no other answer.

Your still assuming!

I'm by way of logical going with the logical answer in by the way of definition, and meaning the same, Meaning together, Meaning 22!!:)

Yeah but let's face it, how many men are going to go threading through ancient temples just to be happy with having a satchel?

Not quiet what was asked, but nearly...

Let a = 1 and b = 1.

Therefore a = b, by substitution.

If two numbers are equal, then their squares are equal, too:

a^2 = b^2.

Now subtract b^2 from both sides (if an equation is true, then if
you subtract the same thing from both sides, the result is also
a true equation) so

a^2 - b^2 = 0.

Now the lefthand side of the equation is a form known as "the
difference of two squares" and can be factored into (a-b)*(a+b).
If you don't believe me, then try multiplying it out carefully,
and you will see that it's correct. So:

(a-b)*(a+b) = 0.

Now if you have an equation, you can divide both sides by the same
thing, right? Let's divide by (a-b), so we get:

(a-b)*(a+b) / (a-b) = 0/(a-b).

On the lefthand side, the (a-b)/(a-b) simplifies to 2, right?
and the righthand side simplifies to 0, right? So we get:

1*(a+b) = 0,

and since 1* anything = that same anything, then we have:

(a+b) = 0.

But a = 1 and b = 1, so:

1 + 1 = 0, or 2 = 0.

Now let's divide both sides by 2, and we get:

1 = 0.

Then we add 1 to both sides, and we get what your programming
teacher said, namely:

1 + 1 = 1.

You could always opt for The Hangover style satchel and join Alan's wolfpack over at Ceasers Palace

It is a satchel. One does not put in magic jewels which make a cave in into a freakin' purse! :eek:

I would but... I'd really just rather have my man-purse/bag/satchel with me and can use it as whatever i like when the need calls for it.

The usual things: crowbar, TNT, shrunken heads, pocket-sized packed up RPG (for giant lizards only), a pet dinosaur that's 19ft tall that I call "Cuddles".

I assume the same things you would carry on a night out?

Kitchen sink? Really? That's a bit odd, isn't it? I just take up a mini-caravan with me.

Ugh.. women!

It's simple:

The Enterprise computer system is controlled by three primary main processor cores, cross-linked with a redundant melacortz ramistat, fourteen kiloquad interface modules. The core element is based on an FTL nanoprocessor with 25 bilateral kelilactirals, with twenty of those being slaved into the primary heisenfram terminal. Now, you do know what a bilateral kelilactiral is?

Does that help?

Well, considering that the average amount of legs that each person in Ireland has is not 2, then maybe 2 + 2 isn't 4, you never know.

I never get why women can't grasp the most basic of concepts, its like the offside rule

In fairness, most men would walk into a kitchenm try to cook a meal and say "so where's the thing that puts the food on the round thing? Ya wha? I gotta do it myself?".

It's not that hard to understand, you just need to forget that you can think logically and you'll understand Star Trek technobabble.
