ColumnsX is fun.

Well, I finally found out what ColumnsX Is! It's fun. I am currently rank 99 with 38800 points. Yay. Yet I've only won twice. Strange, huh? I played too much. My brain still thinks I'm playing o.O. At least it got me new badges heheh.

Dang it, the contagious warm weather is supposed to hit Texas! It will be death to my snowball, the DeathballX. Dang it.

uhh….Yeah HOPEFULLY I will get the Wii tomorrow morning! Once again, my dad and Bob799 are going out to HOPEFULLY get one. I don't get it, everyone I know who wants one has one but me. My friend has it, I saw him playing zelda. It was awesome. And I'm glad that it isn't hard to get used to the new actions of the Wii.

Here is a question: Name one REAL instance where 2 plus 2 equals 10 while being in base 10, and it doesn't have anything to do with pixels. 0 is not included. Hint: It's a "make smart people look dumb" kind of question, think outside the box. Heck, outside the hexagon. I know the answer, and if you think like me, you'll find out. Answer will be in the blog on Monday, or Tuesday if I don't make a Monday blog.

Ok, due to the fact that I bet Kenon can think of 3 more other ways, here's my answer:

2+2=10

2 2 and one half+2 2 and one half=10

I din't say what the 2s were for. it could've been 2 anything. Even….2 Noobz sitting on a pile of old magazines.

So you can take this and make it equal anything.

1+1=248

One 124+One 124=248

But both numbers don't have to equal each other. You can really manipulate the problem.

Wait… what about the 0 in 10?

that can stay. It's a special 0. No wonder you have the mystery solver badge.

Then you would have HAD to put a variable there! There was an unknown that wasn't shown, so therefore, you were INCORRECT!

You broke the laws of mathematics there. You Phail!

2+2=10

2+2-7=10-7

(2+2-7)^2=3^2

9=9

Simple math, fools.

Ugh, it seems whatever I put seems to include loopholes. You too smart…

Simple mathematics breaking as well.

Essentially, squaring involves multiplying a number by itself. Due to common math knowledge, You cannot do two different things to two sides of an equation and get a true answer. instead, this problem is moreover written as such to overcome this circumstance:

2+2=10

2+2-7=10-7

-3*+-3=3*+-3

Either 9=-9 or -9=9

If that is correct, Then 1=-1, then 0=1, 1=2, yadda yadda yadda…

With that you could prove:

since 2=3, 3=4, and 4=5; 2=5

Therefore, 2+2=10

BUT! then according to that equation pointed out…

2+2=any number possible

(except imaginary numbers dealing with i I think)

Soo… Yeah..

More proof.

^^ Don't get me wrong, that's impossible as well.

Come on, can I prove my math teacher wrong for once? She says you see math everyday…thanks.

Heh, my math teacher says that we're never actually gonna use this stuff in real life so we do more fun stuff during math =D. It'll really suck when the provincials roll around the corner in June though…

Yes you do, you use it in stupid internet arguments. :P
