Kedas Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 you ask when? Well that's about 9months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasori Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 In a mixed-up world where 1 is actually a variable = to 1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueHeart Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 This is very cruel of me to be sure! Keep guessing and I'll post the answer in a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 i've already seen the answer... YT posted it here yesterday i think, now its disappeared as has a lot of this thread... it something to with binary and the fact that the question was 1 and 1 not 1 plus 1.... 11 in binary is 3 then the question when does 2 plus 2 equal 3... or something like that (im not sure exactly) however it has all been deleted... we'd solved the 1 and 1 problem and there was a new one on the thread... dunno where it has all gone. edit: read post below -- oh, ok, soz bout that!

TrueHeart Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I saw the same calamity (deleted posts) occur in a thread in another forum section earlier today, but they all returned unharmed in a short time afterwards. Maybe this thread's missing posts will return as well. Um, that was me, not YT2095, who offered the answer to when 1 and 1 equals 3; and me who asked when is 2 plus 2 equal to 3.

aguy2 Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 When does 1 and 1 make 3? Happy New Year One plus one might equal three in a situation that displays a rather high degree of 'gestalt'. aguy2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueHeart Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Afflicted by the loss of posts during server changes, the flow is lost. But here's my offering: 1 and 1 (not 1 plus 1) equals three in Base-2 notation, ie. a "1" and a "1" together looks like "11", which is binary for three. (But I like Kedas's answer better!) Then I challenged, when does 2 plus 2 equal 3. Answer: when the addends are velocities expressed in units of space-hops per hour, where a "space-hop" equals 193,569,148.5 miles. Yes, this riddle more rightly belongs in the Physics section, but I couldn't resist tacking it on to this similar ongoing thread. If a space craft is moving relative to Earth at 2 space-hops per hour, and another craft overtakes and passes the first one at +2 space-hops per hour... then that second craft is moving at 3 space-hops per hour relative to Earth. Simple arithmetic is unuseable when addends are velocities; that's an irrefutable fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKiri Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 One plus one might equal three in a situation that displays a rather high degree of 'gestalt'. aguy2 Put slightly more succintly, '1+1=3 for high values of 1' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kedas Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 in case you like some other, all numbers at the right of '=' are base 10 base 2: 11 = 3 base 3: 11 = 4 base 4: 11 = 5 base 5: 11 = 6 ... base 10: 11 = 11 base 3: 22 = 8 ... 11=17 find the base (should be easy now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, that was me, not YT2095, who offered the answer to when 1 and 1 equals 3; and me who asked when is 2 plus 2 equal to 3. incorrect actualy, I stated mine as "in Boolean Algebra 1 AND 1 =1 and thus 3x 1. My mind isn`t in the gutter" (as the other post were about human replication prior to). you THEN followed with your base 2 comment in the post after not to worry tho, Memory isn`t a pre-requisite for a fine Physicist such as yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
