Yeah, I know, people just start talking and the subject gets a little out - of - way.
Using only two 2s and any mathematical symbols, make 5. NO TRICKS

Nearly all subjects, answering your question. There was no way for me toshow that horsey lewy's goals, he's got me blocked, so i did on this forum. Wasn't right regarding the person who opened this forum. *unfollowing.
2 + 2 is four. now you just need a one using just mathematical symbols, no integers. e, pi and i are all math symbols. As you know from the Euler identity, e raised to the power of i x pi equals minus one, so the answer is 2 + 2 - (e raised to the power of i x pi).
2sqaured plus (1x2)
Or is the one illegal?

2+2+(p/p)
Only two 2s used. +, p, ( ) and = are all math symbols. p is supposed to be Pi but cannot enter the proper math symbol for it. PI has an infinite value; however, anything divided by itself, by definition, is 1. Therefore, 2+2+(p/p) equates to 4+1=5.
Heh heh that's not the solution he's looking for but it looks true to me m-connors
Or on the same track as you....
2x2 + x/x = 5
2x2 + x/x = 5

(Squareroot .2)^-2 is right!!! NICE Gambit!
Square root of .2 squaredvis just .2, but to the NEGATIVE 2 power, it is 1 OVER .2, which is 2
Yep that's the answer but m-connors is right too
@VicountVonJames: Your major problem with the answer you gave in #104 isn't that your "1" is illegal, it's that the expression you provided equals SIX, not five. Put a dunce cap on your catvatar.
@Jonathan-Harker: Pi is the sum of the infinite number of terms in the Taylor series 4 - 4/3 + 4/5 - 4/7 + 4/9...etc., and it can be expressed in a simple sigma format, but I don't know how to type a sigma with the stuff you need on the top and bottom into a chatbox.
Correct Jonathan and any number divided by itself is 1.... so m-connors found an alternative solution
Nice one too Oregonpatzer, that's three solutions now

What happened to 4? 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5 . . . I + I I + I = 2+2 = 4 not, sadly, 5.

2 upside down then flipped = 5
Im just wondering, how do threads always change-out-of subjects like this?
