    A simple question like this might seem stupid to the person being asked. But what if the person really does not know the answer to a simple question like this. Then it is good that he is asking so he can learn. :)

    I would rather have a person ask me how would do something simple, than him being a know it all and make a big mess of what could have been fixed with one small question. Asking questions even simple questions does specially the ones you really don't know the answer to don't make you dumb. It actually is a good thing as you are interested in learning. :) :)

    Want to know something really funny ?

    2+2 does not equal 4.

    2+2=6
    Why?,

    Lets look at the numeric table.

    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

    How many numbers are there ? 11 numbers in total right ? from 0 to 10
    So, if there are 11 numbers why does the total add upto just ten ?

    Zero is used as a symbol and marker to state that there is nothing present, however the fact that it exists means that there is one zero thus meaning that zero is actually one. This also applies to all numerics that come after zero because they are a counterpart to zero witch is the first link in the chain of the numeric system, otherwise zero would simply never exist to begin with. With this in mind the equation becomes 2 (+1) + 2 (+1). Again I refer you back to the fact that zero exists and there is one of its presence in the numeric chain, thus the +1. Meaning that when you add the whole equation together you end up with a grand total of 6.

    Was it such a stupid question?, even though you assumed you knew the correct answer ?
    Don't know why I just ranted about that......

    And here I've been saying 2+2=6 for years with no explanation and people would say I'm stupid.

    0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-v
    ^---------------------

    Because 10 is not a unique number, it is the wrap-around iteration.


    furthermore, if you think about addition as simple incrementing you would find that incrementing 0 twice results in 2 and that taking that result and iterating *it* twice, you would get 4... the expected result.

    Also, even in your example you seem to count the zero placeholder as having some value greater than any of its fellow numerals:

    0-1-2
    3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10

    where your argument of 0 having some value comes into real play is more in terms of elements of arrays.

    an array of defined as array[3] has 3 elements terminating at 2 instead of the #3 one would initially expect, because 0 does have a value above 'null' in that scenario.

    array{0, 1, 2}

    however, even here if you have array[5] and you iterate 4 times from the 0th position,

    ------0+1+1+1+1
    array{0, 1, 2, 3, 4}

    you still end up at 4, which is the 5th element

    So n = n+1 for all n.
    no. no. no. no.

    no.

    If counting worked that way, counting wouldn't work.

    Kazzier said I would have 6 apples. I had 2 apples, went to the store bought 2 more. For some reason my 0 apples aren't working.
