umm.. I CAN;T GET THIS ONE WATS 2+2? I THOUGHT IT WAS 5. IS IT? LOL
even numbers
Every even number can be represented. What your saying is that two even numbers added together equals an odd number.
Proof: We want to show that two even numbers added together equals an even number. Let x=2a and y=2b such that x and y are even numbers and a,b are elements of Z. Then we have x+y=2a+2b=2(a+b). And since any number multiplied by 2 is an even number, two even numbers added together must equal an even number. End Proof.
Thought you would just like to see a formal proof for this. Hope you enjoy. Take care.

It is said that 2 + 2 does equal 5 for very large values of 2.

Yes, I do believe that a large one is almost as much as a little two!
