When you're in base 2 (100); IN BASE 3, It would be 11. or base 4 where it would be 10.

In a finite field of characteristic 2, 2+2 equals 0! In fact, 2+2 can equal any number of things, depending on the field (or ring) you are working in.

When there is a different base system. We right now have a base system of 10, so 2+2= 4 then. However in a different base of 7or something would change.

This question begs for silly answers as well as serious ones. If you put two and two together, they become a twotwo, often spelled tutu, which is a skirt worn by ballerinas. If you take two 2's, and turn them upside down, you get two hooks to hang your clothes on. If you turn one of the 2's backwards and join it to the other 2, you get a heart on a base. Somebody stop me!

two plus two equals 4, what is your question?

It always equals 4; if at any time it didn't, the whole mathematical foundation would crumble.

when the 2's are rounded (both up or both down)
2,4 is rounded to 2 but
2,4+2,4 = 4,8 wich should be rounded to 5 so.. 2+2=5

when one of those 2s is negative.
2 + (-2) = 0
I'm a genius.
