Then 1 = 2

Conclusion:

1 + 1 = 3

If 1=2, then

1 + 1=4, no?

If you tell a small child that 1+1=3 , they may eventually believe it ;)

I know plenty of adults who believe 2 + 2 = 5. ::) :D

You probably did "2 - -3" (two minus minus 3) If not, then that's just silly!

No, I was supposed to be subtracting 2 from 3 and answered 5; that wasn't being silly -- it was being outright errant! :-[ 8)

Not always. Most of the times it really equals two. Except if there are accidents...

Sorry, Heretic, but  jordonj is basically correct or it wouldn't be re production. ;) However, it's not limited to resulting in a total of 3. :o 8)
