I think you are going to need much tougher math questions to stump Silverstriker
well danny666 i can't confirm that if you add 2 with 2 you get 4 but if you merely literally move them side by side you get the number 22.
hope this helps

daniel58 has said his dog has 4 legs (equation 1d=4)
Add the equations together (0d+1d = 1d) 1 dog
what you do to one side you do to the other so 5+4 = 9
so a dog has 9 legs

Question; IS 2+2=4 CORRECT?
2+2=?
If you have 2 cats and 2 mice how many animals do you have? (are the mice pregant? does a cat eat a mice? are the cats pregant) 4 isnt such an easy answer is it?
and what if you adding these numbers if they are matrices - they best be of the same order or well you'd have trouble adding them and would need the determinant...

4.
"are the mice pregant?"
I don't know
"does a cat eat a mice"
That's wrong because you wrote "A mice", it's either 1. a mouse, or 2. the mice.
"are the cats pregant"
You can't spell again, I don't know that either.
