well, if 1 = .9 (by way of 1/3=.3, 2/3=.6, 3/3=.9) then if .9 = 0, 1 = 0.

1/3!=.3

It does if you only have 1 sig fig.

Sig figs exist in higher math too? I thought it was only in chemistry and I figured I'd be done with it now that I'm done with chem. :(

Oh boy and you wanted to use a TI-89?

Radiohead or random?

I think it's true actually. I had only heard of it on Radiohead then I saw it on some math forum. Can anyone shed light on the whole @ + @ = 5 thing?

i think its originally from george orwell's 1984. never read it but just what i heard

When two plus two is five or less it's time to question common sense

:D

Actually, 10 + 10 = 1010

:laugh:

Actually, you are wrong. it is 100.

you can check it by converting to decimal. 10(base 2) = 2(base 10)

(10 + 10)base2 = (2 + 2)base10 and we know 2 + 2 = 4, so we need 4 in binary. 4(base2) = 100.

end of proof.

edit: i just realized this thread is a bunch of hooey...so just incase you were kidding, so am i :eek:
