+Eckington Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Well hopefully someone will come up with some answers. This has been running 4 days now. Obviously not Pub Quiz standard. Well, I do apologise for that, don't want to be holding people up, the only other one I posted was much too easy, so I am clearly having trouble with the standard. Let's give the DING to Keehotee for the most or Eckington for the last then -whoever wants it. Cheers! Ness. Give it to our Tim Quote Link to comment
+keehotee Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Very good of you...... OK - name the superheroes - Ding to person to guess last one or most, by 6pm tomorrow (wednesday) to keep things moving........ 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Quote Link to comment

+keehotee Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 DING.... well, you got 3 and 8 wrong - but nobody's going to get more than 8/10 right now.... There were originally 20 of these, but it wouldn't let me put that many pics in one post. 3 is Plastic Man, and 8 is Spider Woman. Quote Link to comment
+kennamatic Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Well, I do apologise for that, don't want to be holding people up, the only other one I posted was much too easy, so I am clearly having trouble with the standard. I shouldn't worry, half the stuff that comes up on here isn't pub quiz standard. If it's any consolation I liked the question and would be interested in knowing the answers. If you don't want to post them I shall go off and google them. Quote Link to comment

+The Lavender Hill Mob Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Spencer Perceval DING! Over to you LHM. If 2x2= 4 then what does 4 equal? I'm looking for one specific mathmatical answer. Quote Link to comment
NickPick Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Mathmatically, 4 equals a great many things: the square of 2 the square root of 16 the answer to the sum 3+1 etc All of these are specific mathmatical answers Could we have a bit more context to the question? Quote Link to comment
+keehotee Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 The square of 2 OR 100 (base 2) OR the lowest number which is the sum of two prime numbers which also happen to be it's square root. Quote Link to comment
+keehotee Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Just noticed another one 100 is also 10 squared............ (binary again) So 2*2=4 // 10*10=100 in binary and decimal....... Quote Link to comment
+keehotee Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 OR The lowest non-prime number Quote Link to comment
+keehotee Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 OR the dimension some caches seem to be hidden in..... Quote Link to comment
+Eckington Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Or simply 4 units in Base 10 ..........or has one of the other replies said that in a different way Quote Link to comment

OK, In the context of 2x2=4 what does 4 equal? As all the replies have shown there are many different answers but there is only one mathmatical answer that covers them all. (Blimey THAT IS A BIG CLUE!) BTW, I saw/heard this question on an episode of Silent Witness........if that helps.....which it doesn't Quote Link to comment

+The Lavender Hill Mob Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 The PRODUCT of 2 times 2 Nope. So far NickPick is closest with his statement "Mathmatically, 4 equals a great many things" so what in a single mathmatical term is "A Great Many Things"? Quote Link to comment
+Team Sieni Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) OK, In the context of 2x2=4 what does 4 equal? Huh? I think this one will be like Mrs Doyle trying to guess Fr Todd Unctious' name. Just keep guessing and we'll get there in the end. The circumference of the earth? A hairy dog? Aston Villa?

What you're trying to say is that 4 = 'Everything' but it doesn't, 4 doesn't equal 'Never having to say you're sorry' but 4 does = 'less than 5'............so what single 'term' if you like sums up what you're all trying to say? A clue.........look at 8 another way. Quote Link to comment
Izzy and the Lizard King Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Infinite? Quote Link to comment
+Team Sieni Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 A clue.........look at 8 another way. Well, 8, laid on its side looks like the infinity symbol. As 4 is half of 8, it follows that 4 is half of infinity stood on end, which is infinite (but stood on end) - as izzy & lk say. On the other hand, 8 is also a bit like two 0's balanced on top of each other, so as 4 is half of 8, then 4 is zero. However, you could also argue that four is two number-twos. Quote Link to comment
+The Lavender Hill Mob Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Infinite? DING! 4 = ∞ (infinity). Because there are an infinite number of solutions, 3+1, 100-96, 1/.25, 2x2 etc.etc.etc. Anyway! I thought the concept was intersting. Over to Izzy Quote Link to comment
+Team Sieni Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 4 = ∞ (infinity). etc.etc.etc. Huh? You learn something every day Quote Link to comment
+keehotee Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 But 4 doesn't equal infinity! 4 is finite (ie 2 + 2 --- it has a defined value). For example, 5 = 4+1, but by definition infinity +1 is infinity - therfore every number could be said to be infinity by your definition. The number of ways to arrive at 4 might be infinite - but that wasn't the question........ Quote Link to comment
+Guanajuato Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Infinite? DING! 4 = ∞ (infinity). Because there are an infinite number of solutions, 3+1, 100-96, 1/.25, 2x2 etc.etc.etc. Anyway! I thought the concept was intersting. Over to Izzy Huh? By definition any real number is finite. As Finite is the opposite of Infinite, the two are mutually exclusive. Being a real number, 4 is therefore finite, thus cannot be infinite. It is perfectly possible, as you've demonstrated, that there are infinite questions to which the answer is 4, but 4 itself can never be infinite. But being the answer to an infinite number of questions does not make the number itself infinite. This is obviously completely pointless though, as one of the rules is the question setter gets to give the DING, irrespective of challenges to the answer. Quote Link to comment
NickPick Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 So, If I multiply something by infinity, take that to the depth of forever, and I still will barely have a glimpse of what you're talking about Quote Link to comment
