Answer 2

Hi!
There are several that prove things like 3=4 or 2+2=5. But they CANNOT be correct because by definition 5 is as different from 4 as 1 is different from 0. They are just measuring units used to describe natural phenomena, therefore such 'formulas' as u call them are impossible. If you happen to run across one...try to substitute the numbers in it with a common object...i.e. apples...and you will find the mistake easily;)
I am now referring to real numbers..if you consider imaginary ones artifices could be made...but using real numbers 2+2=5 only if you change the set of symbols...'four' could be written '5' but it would still mean four:)

Answer 3

Create a number system from scratch, take this to a mathematician and while they might make some small changes to my wording they'll agree that my reasoning is sound.
Define the absense of objects as the symbol 0
Define the symbol 2 as a unit object
Define the the symbol 5 as result when one unit object is counted with another of the same unit object.
Define + as the act of counting one set of objects with another set of objects.
Define = as equivalence.
Therefore 2+2=5

Answer 4

See, in no way 2+2=5. The procedures some people show voilate some mathematical rule.
Sundayschild63 has given a site. But what is there... thatch.

Answer 5

2+2=5
2+2+1 retard = 5+ 1retard
2+square root of (3 idiots) times 3.623 philosophers = 6 pothead math majors - imaginary numbers

Tadaaa!
Obviously I don't know... but that was mildly amusing. Very mildly.

Answer 6

hello i dont know the thing that i know 2+2=4 :D
