1+1= not 2?

Featured Replies

That wouldn't really fit with any regularly used definition of '+' then would it?

 

Roman Numerals I+I=II

 

:P

hmmm

 

1 + 1 = 0 mod 1

 

or

 

1 + 1 = 0 mod 2.

 

There. There's two cases.

no there is a way where you start if assuming that A=B or somrthing, ill find out tommorow.

I'm sorry... :confused:

 

Isn't the fact that 1+1 = 2 derived empirically?

 

 

As in " When I put one nut in the sack and then another nut, then I got two nuts in the sack."

 

And logic is then a generalized system based on the above and similar empirically derived non-disputable facts?

[math]suc0 + suc0 = sucsuc0[/math]

Yeah, I've seen stuff like that too! There is just one trick, dividing by zero.

 

Just out numbers instead of variables and you will see that it actually doesn't work!

You'd possibly better mail it to him, because:

hehe i'm back. i got it. thanks everybody!

I was going to say, when the first 1 = one apple and the other 1 = one orange then you have 1+1 = Fruit Salad!

Joining with two accounts is against the rules. I doubt your sincerity and you have a big strike against you, especially since your other account has already started calling people "idiots".

So, a quick summary of when [imath]1+1\neq 2[/imath].

  • When your working modulo <2
  • When by '+' you don't mean 'plus'
    • As the logical operator AND, which I've always seen written as '^' which seems an awful lot less confusing. But write it however you like, whatever. (you'll note that I never challenged this)
    • When you chose it to mean something completely random, which is okay, just boring.

    [*]When by '1' and '2' you don't mean '1' and '2'. This is stupid. (a 'I' doesn't look like a '1', srsly)[*]When you apply a fallacious 'proof', this is mega stupid.[*]When you are otherwise being stupid, or boring.

Unless I've missed something, can we call this concluded?

1+1 = 10

 

There are 10 kinds of people: those that can read binary codes and those that can't!;):D
