Here's an easy one does two plus two always equal four.?

Question

No brainer right, think beyond your perceptions and concieve of a realm of infinite possibilities. This should be an easy question but if you think it really isn't. I could show you a mathematical equation so complex it might make you reconsider your conclusion.
ex. do two cars and two trucks make......what? I could of wrote this in quite a few languages but let the bashing begin............................

Answer 1

no,...
it depends upon the given label or element that accompanies the numeral. the example you gave equals to four. 2 cars plus 2 trucks make 4 vehicles. unfortunately this does not happen all the time. okay what do i mean,,, in chemistry, there is a certain concept wherein the addition of an element to another may cause deduction and not addition. example 2 negative ions added to 2 positive ions result to 0.

for every rule, there exists a contradicting exemption....

Answer 2

4

Answer 3

In Orwell's novel 1984, if the Ministry of Truth (Minitruth) says 2 + 2 = 5, then that's what it equals. Which illustrates Dr Goebbels' Theory of Propagada perfectly: repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it.

In ternary (base 3) maths, 2 + 2 = 11
In quaternary (base 4) maths 2 + 2 = 10
In binary maths (base 2) 10 + 10 = 100

But all these three ways of writing down "two plus two equals four" are not denying that two plus two does equal four, by definition. They just use different symbols to express that with.

In primitive tribal societies, which counted "one, two, three, many" two plus two would equal many. As they have no word for four. But so would "three plus two" and "three plus three" and "one plus three", all equal many. So in a specific sense that two things that are both equal to a third thing can be viewed as equal to one another, two plus two would equal five and would also equal six, in that counting system.

Which would confuse Orwell's epoymous and eventually brainwashed hero, Winston Smith, enormously!

Answer 4

Two cars and two trucks make four automobiles...Now, in Indian film cinema only, two and two equal five... now,both geometrically and algaebrically, two plus two equal four, and I don't need any explanations to prove it. Yes, two plus two always equals four, even if it means two heavens and two hells...

If you consider applying both negatives and positives, then the answer can be different, eg. 2+(-2)=0...

Answer 5

2 + 2 = 0(mod 4). Think of a 4 hour clock with numbers
0, 1,2,3.

Answer 6

In a number system other that decimal based, the answer may appear different, but the value is always the same.

Answer 7

yes....2+2 always equal 4
two cars+2 trucks is not possible unless they have a common unit....so numerially...2+2 always equals 4

Answer 8

How about something simplier.

2 halves + 2 halves = 2 wholes

Answer 9

okay, 2 men plus 2 women equal a damn good time. there you go.....

Answer 10

always four, the proof is flawed
