A very stupid question: 1 + 1 =?

Question

I know it's an easy question, but this one demands a stupid answer.

Answer 1

11

Answer 2

1+1=2

Answer 3

2

Answer 4

First of all, the guy who proved that 2 = 1 above, you said A = B and then you divided by A-B. You're dividing by zero.



1+1= window. think about it. the ones are the side panes. the equal signs the bottom and top and the plus sign, the cross thingy in the middle.

this type of window originated in 1893 when the Red Cross, thinking of getting into the homes of every middle class person, released their own type of window (some type of subliminal mind set) because around that time, it became huge. Then, in Harvard Law School, around 1960-1965, an otherwise untalented graduate student realized the ingenious stupidity of the Red Cross and sought to enlighten the entire world by coming up with a joke. Surely, jokes of this mundane nature are difficult to spread so in 1968, he switched over the the math department at Princeton and worked with John Nash on a his graduate's thesis, in which the introduction was this particular joke. The college board at Princeton was raving. It became the basis for a student union coup movement in 1970 (which was brutally suppressed by our government) and then disappeared into the fabric of history only to reemerge in 1998 on a Tootsie Roll wrapper as a joke. Tootsie Rolls took a major sales dive. And now? It's still there. Whenever there's a guy beatin up a geek, it was there. Whenever there was a ... i forget the rest of the lines. later

Answer 5

1+1 = 2. One apple and one apple are two apples.
1+1 = 3. Results from this being done in a bedroom.
1+1 = 10. In base 2 that is how it would look.
1+1 = 11. Or the Petronas Towers, since they look sort of like an 11 in the sky.
1+1 = Uranus, since "|+|" looks sort of like the symbol for that planet.
1+1 = 0 in the field F2, the integers mod 2.
1+1 = a field goal = 3 pts, since the vertical stroke on the + is the football going over the goal posts.
1+1 = 1+1 if it is one apple and one orange, since you can't add apples and oranges.
1+1 = 1.9999999 if done on a calculator or maybe a Pentium computer.
1+1 = 3/2 for small values of 1.
1+1 = 5/2 for large values of 1.

It all depends on what you want it to mean.

Answer 6

In Boolean algebra 1 + 1 = 1.
Think of it this way:
1 represents everything and 0 represents nothing,
so 1 + 1 = 1.
Another way to think about this
is to put 2 switches in parallel.
Then 0 means a switch is off and 1 means
a switch is on. So if both switches are on,
the circuit will be on.
Also in mod 2 arithmetic, 1 + 1 = 0.
In other words, the sum of 2 odd numbers is even.

Answer 7

1+ 1 = 1 !!!

Answer 8

1 + 1 = 10 in binary (base 2)

1 + 1 = 2 in all other bases

Answer 9

It equals 0 in a field of characteristic 2.

Answer 10

A pint of water plus a pint of ethanol will get you slightly less than 2 pints of booze. The correct equation is:

1 + 1 = 1.94
