I was on youtube the other day, and this came up. There was a theory that 2*2 can equal 5. I looked at it and the creator of the problem made a HORRIBLE mistake. I found it but I just wanna see if you can find it. Up for the challenge?

A = 4
B = 5
C = 4

C = B-A/(B-A)
C(B-A) = (B-A)^2
CB - CA = B^2-2AB + A^2/-A^2
CB - CA-A^2 = B^2 - 2AB/+AB
AB+CB - CA-A^2 = B^2 - AB/-CB

AB - CA-A^ = B^2-CB-AB
- - -

A*(B-C-A) = B*(B-C-A) Both c's are crossed

A = B

4 = 5

2*2 = 5

There's the problem. See what the person did wrong?

Im probably too young to do this but, ill give it a shot(99% wrong):

A = 4
B = 5
C = 4

C = B-A/(B-A)


How is C = B-A/(B-A)

4=5-4/(5-4)

I was thinking that too. But then I thought of this theory.

A = 4
B = 5
C = 4

C = B-A/(B-A)

Maybe if both equals one then I was thinking maybe you had to cross muliply with C getting 4.

Thing is the likes and dislikes were about equal when this was on youtube so that's why I was asking you guys.

2*2 IS NOT 5!! Proof:


You have 2 groups of 2 apples in a group. You will see that the apples add up to 4 not 5.

@Penguine

You didn't look at the whole problem. And if you don't know what I mean then you can't answer my question.

C = B-A/(B-A)
4 = 5-4/(5-4)
4 = 1/1
4 = 1
4 != 1

@jode: no, order of operations

C = B-A/(B-A)
4 = 5-1/(5-4)
4 = 5-4
4 = 1
4 != 1

you get the same result, but yours doesnt use the correct order of operations

@miz: pretty sure anyone who actually bothered to look at the post could figure it out, but the rest of the people were like "oh its one of those stupid things thats like ololol 4=5 see if u can find out wats rong those are stupid im out peace"

oops typo

C = B-A/(B-A)
4 = 5-4/(5-4)
4 = 5-4
4 = 1
4 != 1

@crazy

When I looked at this on youtube and saw half likes half dislikes I didn't realy know :l

I was really suprised it didn't get like 4,000 dislikes. SO I just asked.
