2 + 2 = 5

[maria is a creeper]

I remember reading somewhere online once where, in an article, DNA proved that 2 + 2 = 5, but I don't remember, and seeing as everyone here is a DNA fan (well, hopefully), I was wondering if anyone knows where to find said article. Or tell me if it's just a figment of my imagination and I'm going crazy. You know, either one works.

0.9999~ = 1.

that severly pisses me off.

2+2= 42?

That annoys me, too.

I don't think I ever saw that article, but if it exists I'd like to see it.

There is a way with limits in college calculus to prove it, I just don't remember how to at the time.

Hey! I vaguely remember doing that...but I don't have my calc notebook with me currently so I can't say how it is done...

Are you sure it was 2+2=5? And that DNA did it? Because I remember hearing sometime (okay, I'm gonna get the numbers wrong cause I don't have H2G2 with me either, but you know when they're trying to figure out the question and they say 6 x 7 and then they say two other numbers like (for the sake of argument and this example) 9 x 4?) that someone (a H2G2 fan) had proved that 9 x 4 did indeed equal 42 when it was done in a base other than 10...and that probably made no sense to anyone... sweatdrop

(and I'm a little confused about why .99999=1 is annoying...?)

EDIT: Ahaha!! Yay for wingnut!! She wrote this in another thread:

"What do you get if you multiply six by nine?" (which is, of course, not forty-two except in base thirteen).

// I thought that was a Radiohead reference... Like the song they did called "Paranoid Android" was named after Marvin. ((2+2=5 is a song from their CD "Hail to the Theif"))

This neat math stuff sounds, well... neat. xd

I've got to get that CD. Never heard of "Paranoid Android.'

Oh yeah, I found that on a website.

The only answer can be 42. Except in Maths exams.
