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.

Last time I checked, I was 4th on the ColumnsX highscore

Kenon: You can still prove it for numbers with a non-zero imaginary component, it just involves more than one squaring.

In short; you can only make some operations work when both sides are equal. Otherwise, they may generate extraneous solutions.
