Using only two 2s and any mathematical symbols, make 5. NO TRICKS
Sort:
I know you can't use words but I can't type the symbol for two squared so....if the word two is a trick in the question there you have it, though to be grammatically correct it should read ....using only two, 2's and any mathematical symbols...just to be pedantic heh heh
2
Two + 2/2 = 5
Two + 2/2 = 5
. 2
Two + 2/2 = 5
Two + 2/2 = 5
Grrrr
.......2
Two. + 2/2 = 5
Two. + 2/2 = 5
Heh heh
Think of a number below 10...
Double it...
Add 6...
Divide by 2...
Take away the number you originally thought...
Answer is...3

2^2 perhaps?
Is that how it's done on a comp screen?
Square root of 22 = 4.69 which rounds up to 5

Nope. The answer is EXACTLY 5.
Ok.... how about two^2 + 2/2 = 5 .... exactly 5
that's 4 2s. Words aren't allowed either!
Ok so the word two in the question can't be used?
I give up then...what's the answer

If you cubed 2, you would get 8. That uses 2 once.
From statistics, I believe there is a symbol used to sum all of the digits below and including a number. For example 4 with this symbol would be 1+2+3+4=10.
So, using this symbol from statistics (I don't recall the symbol) with 2 (used a second time, now) and subtracting from the first 2 cubed, the result after the mathematical application of the symbols would be 8-3=5. (The cube symbol is a 3; however, in this context it is not a number, it is a math symbol).

u can't use any other numbers. Only 2s and exactly two 2s.

no. only 2 number 2s. no other numbers, words. any symbols allowed.
