Two + Two = 5................?

Question

2 + 2 = 5, yes?

Answer 1

2 + 2 = 5 is a phrase commonly used to describe synergy

i.e. a situation where the final outcome is greater than the sum of its parts

it can be used in business, where 2 companies merge together and their individual financial worth has increased as a result of them working together.

EDIT: Not quite, 2 + 2 = 5 is just a simple way to describe the effect of synergy, its not a mathmatical equation.

Answer 4

The phrase "two plus two makes five" (or "2 + 2 = 5") originates from George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four,[1] where it is contrasted with the phrase "two plus two makes four," regarded by Orwell and many others as more accurate. It is intended by Orwell as a succinct and vivid representation of an illogical statement, especially one made and maintained to suit an ideological agenda.

Orwell's protagonist, Winston Smith, uses the phrase to wonder if the State might declare "two plus two makes five" as a fact; he ponders that, if everybody believes in it, does that make it true? Smith writes, "Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows." Later in the novel, Smith attempts to use doublethink to teach himself that the statement "2 + 2 = 5" is true, or at least as true as any other answer one could come up with.

Later in the novel, Winston Smith is electroshocked into declaring that he saw five fingers when in fact he only saw four ("Four! Five! Four! I don't know!").
