    So to calculate 2+2

    We must first notice that both digits are divisible by two since two is divisible by two. This simplifies the equation to:

    2+2 = 2*1 + 2*1

    Then, we can factor the two out of the equation:

    =2(1+1)

    Recognizing that 1 is equivalent to ln(e), we can substitute the 1's in the equation for ln(e):

    =2(ln(e) + ln(e))

    Now, recall the logarithmic product property: logb(x ∙ y) = logb(x) + logb(y)

    Applying this, we get:

    =2(ln(e*e))

    Reduce that down:

    =2(ln(e^2)

    I'm really bad at math so I had to punch in e^2 into a calculator, but basically it amounts to around 7.4.

    So 2+2 is something like 2 times the natural log of 7.4, which sounds kind of complicated.

    IDK man.

    Life is rough.

    Math isn't for me.

    I majored in viticulture.

    2 + 2 = hermit crab

    That is not a quote or reference to anything. I have no idea why that popped into my head, it just did.

    Two plus two equals the following, dependant on scenario:
    • 4, basic addition
    • 100, basic addition, but under Base 2.
    • 11, basic addition, but under Base 3 (I think: 01=1, 02=2, 10=3, 11=4)
    • 10, basic addition, but under Base 4 (I think: 01=1, 02=2, 03=3, 10=4)
    • 22, String Concatenation
    • A compiler error because 2+2=? doesn't compile at all.
    • 42, by default, any and all questions can be correctly answered with 42.

    2 + 2 equals more fun! Because what's more fun than one plus one? Two plus two of course! No, one plus zero is not fun, you hikineets. That's just sad.

    2 + 2 = ?
    2/? + 2/? = 1
    Let x = 2/?
    x + x =1
    2x = 1
    To solve for 1 + 1 = ?
    ln(e) + ln(e) = ?
    ln(e^2) = ?
    2*ln(e) = ?
    2*(1) = ?
    2 = ?
    ∴ 1 + 1 = 2
    x = 1/2
    Solve for ?, sub x =1/2
    x = 2/?
    1/2 = 2/?
    ? = 4
    ∴ 2 + 2 = 4

    @Bad Storm denied my answer being 5; saying it didn't make sense no matter the theory.

    Let's make it like this

    (+-)2+(+-)2

    So we got

    -2-2, +2+2,-2+2,+2-2.


    -4,4,0,0

    Let's ignore the repeats..(-4,4,0)

    Now the range is -4,0,4


    Draw a circle with (0,0) as center, and (-4,0)(4,0) as one the two points in the circle.


    Now let's take the area of the circle.

    2pi(2)^2 = 25

    So 25 is the the value area for the equation (+-2)+(+-)2











    Ps: my math teach would skin me for this blasphemy XD

    Is that actually what you have heard someone explain to you? That is kind of hilarious.

    Either way, it still gives 4, since natural log of e^2 is 2, making 2*2 = 4.

    I thought it was a reference to an old cartoon where the answer was five, but it seems like there's different answers so I guess I'm mistaken.
