Standing5: Good point from SilaV, if it was probability the answer would be 1 because probability of independent & certain events remains certainty A.K.A. 1

JimloveTM: 1+1=2 in denary
1+1=10 in binary

ifenadi: It is not always right to rush into a question that seems so simple. It is always advisable to read the question severally within few seconds and think before you answer. A simply question generally should have a simple answer, don't try to be over smart.

When we look at the question again, it reads 1 +1 = ? . Justify your assertion (not assertions).


This simply tells you that you can only support a single answer and you must give a reason for your answer. You don't need to give them several answers under several conditions. Whatever answer you give, give smart reason and be precise about it.

This reminds me of a simple question pose to me by oga then, "how do you put an elephant in a fridge?"

Boss Ttdiamonds: 1 + 1 = 3
See Proof Below

Method one
1 = 1

41 – 40 = 61 – 60

16 + 25 – 40 = 36 + 25 – 60

4² + 5² – 2 * 4 * 5 = 6² + 5² – 2 * 6 * 5

(4 – 5)² = (6 – 5)²

4 – 5 = 6 – 5

4 = 6

2 = 3

1 + 1 = 3

Method two
put a+b = 0

so 1(a+b) = 0

1 = 0/(a+b)

0 = 1

adding 2 on both sides

0+2 = 1+2

2= 3

1+1 =3
Method three
Let x = y, then

x−y+y=y

x−y/x−y+y=y/x−y

We can then simplify as:

x−y/x−y+y/x−y=y/x−y

or

1+y/x−y=y/x−y

1=y/x−y−y/x−y

1=0

Now we know that x = y or 1 = 1 is true and that 1 = 0 or 0 = 1 is true, we pose:

0 = 1
1 = 1
1 = 1

Adding these three equations we get:

0 + 1 + 1 = 1 + 1 + 1

or

1 + 1 = 3

idike: The answer to that question is very simple. The interviewers were trying to test the knowledge of the interviewee based on the concept of ''SYNERGY''. In business organisation, it is expected that 1+1=3. It means the effect of two variables would have a profound influence than a variable that is isolated. This concept can be applied to elucidate the theory of division of labour, teamwork, separation of power, etc.

Please don't nail me, i am just learning.

SilaV: It depends on the perspective with which an individual wants to view the equation.For instance,if we were to look at it from mathematics angle,then the following conditions would apply:
(1) The number bases you are working with.If it were to be base ten,then the answer would be 2.However,if it were to be base two,the answer would be "10"(pronounced one-zero)
(2)The operation the cross symbol represents.That is,the concept of binary operation would be looked at.In binary operation,the cross or plus sign is not regarded as the "normal addition" operator.Any sign that comes in-between two numbers in binary operation is often expressed as "opertion".For example, 1+1 is read as "one operation one".Of course, in binary operation if the plus sign actually means addition,then one of the rule would apply;1+1= 1.
Again, if the equation is to be looked at from social perspective,then the institution of marriage would come to mind.In marriage: 1+1=1

lyfe: According to my primary school teacher (-1 + 1) is impossible, but (1+1) one plus one

In Arithmetics 1+1 = 2
In bedmatics 1+ 1= 1
In business 1+1= 11 ......Ask Dangote.
In election rigging 1+1= 11,100 votes ....Ask PDP.

yetseyi:
pls awse aw do u put an elephant in the fridge oo

Egba girl:

The question is: Negative 1 plus positive 1

Not

Positive 1 plus positive 1
