Dear all,

I am completely incapable of using Google or other search engines even though they're built into every commonly available web browser, in addition I have no idea how to search internet forums (even though there is a "search" button on the toolbar).

Therefore I will assume that my question is entirely unique and has never been asked before, and instead of looking at authoritative documentation provided by a government agency (I'm just too lazy to read it) I thought it would be far better to ask a bunch of people I don't know the answer to the following question:

What is the sum of 2+2?

Nutmegger

For crying out loud . . . OK, just this once. Three.

sir_eccles

Depends how you define 2.

Sheepdip

to how many decimal places?

Which visa do you have? It could make a huge difference.

Jerseygirl

At least you didn't say "I'm sure this question must have been asked many times before." Which is usually followed by "but I don't have the time to search." (Read: As my time is much more valuable than yours)

Mr Weeze

Do you want the fractal answer?

helwardman

Don't know the answer, but American size photos will be acceptable.

Rete

Do you want the answer in metrics?

Sally Redux

Go for it!

JRG67

I think the OP means B2+B2=

AZ_Alba

what base are you use?

Are these real or imaginary numbers?

HarryTheSpider

If you're going to talk imaginary numbers then I INSIST you also include 'w' as in 'lower case omega'.

If not, for those situations where 2+2 = 5 remember this only applies very near to the event horizon of a black hole and ONLY if you are an observer some distance away. If you are at the event horizon of the said black hole, 2+2 will continue to = 4. Just to mollify you. This chap said so, so it must be true...
