if 1 + 1 = 2 then whats 2 + 2???

Question

we are debating this in our advanced college class at yale

Answer 1

2+2 is an arithmetic problem.

Answer 2

2 + 2 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

Answer 3

if 1 + 1 = 2 then 2 + 2 = ( 1 + 1 ) + ( 1 + 1 ) = 4

Answer 4

If 1 + 1 = 2,
2 = 1 + 1

So 2 + 2 = (1 + 1) + (1 + 1)
a + a = 2a
2 + 2 = 2(1 + 1)
2 + 2 = 2 * 2
2 + 2 = 4

Answer 5

It could be 2+2=4, 3+3=6, 4+4=8, and 5+5=10 or 2+2=4, 8,16,32. It's a good mental exercise but that's all. It has no meaning in most of everyday living. Good Luck

Answer 6

1+1=2
2+2=(1+1)+(1+1)(substituting 1+1 in place of 2)
=4
honestly,is this what u do in yale???
U must be kidding!
or,does it have a special significance on how human brain works or something?
tell me what else u learn at yale!

Answer 7

If
1 + 1 = 2
then what's
2 + 2 ?

Simple.
2 + 2 = ( 1 + 1) + ( 1 + 1)

Are you really in Yale? I graduated from one of the poorest elementary schools in the Philippines but I think my Math teachers are GREAT!!

Answer 8

Last time I checked it was 4. But maybe I should have went to Yale...

Answer 9

if 1+1gives out one two and you have to get the addition of two two's then add 2 one's to 2 two's so the answer would be
1+1+1+1=4*1=4

Answer 10

well quite simple....
if we can just go 2 + 2 = 4....then we can pretend 2 is a variable and use algebra

EQ1.
1 + 1 = 2

EQ2.
2 + 2 = x

EQ1 sub into EQ2.
(1 + 1) + (1 + 1) = x
x = 4

Answer 11

2+2???=4(?)3
