Which of these groups of people would understand why
1 + 1 = 3 ?

"Politicians" and "Biologists" can be correct answers too.
Just ask Lalu Prasad Yadav what 1 + 1 is! He's probably gonna answer 3 .

Biologists could say that its reproduction. Thankfully thats not an option.

What about synergy? Politicians understand that!

@Vishnu C – I am actually gonna go for synergism of Politicians. lol
LOL.^",*Most of Indian may give answer politicians. Because Indian politician can do whatever he want..lol.
Mathematicians could define + as a new operation, giving a new operation table for which 1+1=3.
Quite true....:P
I died a little bit.
This happens i n our physics practical lab work everyday. First we take a very accurate reading with a superb instrument and then we take another with a cheap instrument and just add them
Can't it be mathematicians who know binary and will end up with 11 which is equal to 3 in decimal? After all, it's just for fun.

1+1 would equal 10 in binary, and 10 in ternary = 3 in decimal

10 is 2 in decimal ! 0=0 // 1=1 // 10=2 // 11=3 // 100=4 // 101=5 //
exactly what i thought.... :)
I cringe at incorrect use of sig figs. Q_Q
I put Polititians because almost none of them believe in equality ;)
Oh, LOL , I did it the same way !
I answered Politicians because I had just finished reading 1984 :P 2+2=5!!!!
Hey! That's synergy! Something that politicians would understand!
Fascinating insights!
1 + 1 = 3 ; Can be solve also by genius or famous mathematicians of all time. Although it would be a long term method math. >.<. I hope you get my point.
ha ha........brilliant ans!!!!!
or the clown is more educated than he leads on and simply counts in a different number base. babylonians were known to have a base 60 method of counting vs our basic base 10.
That's weak, dude. I'm guessing you don't know too many physicists. Or the concept of significant figures.
Wow, you trolled me :3 :3
Speechless.
690 solvers still level pending ? @Calvin Lin

We do not give such troll problems a level.
1+1 = 2 is actually the definition for 2. So according to a mathematician he can design a number system where 1+1 = 3 ie. you first start with two numbers 0 and 1 in your system. Then you start exploring the number 1+1. Prove that 1+1 != 0 and 1+1 != 1. Hence it is a new number in the system. Let us call it 3 (2 is just a convention followed throughout the world).
'1' , '+' and '1' . total three characters according to programer
Well. I can't argue with that logic. +1
I think its a really basic question...instead of focusing on 1+1=3, focus on the word "why?" Physicists spend all their lifetime in finding out answers of why things happen the way they happen. So, if we assume 1+1=3 , only Physicists could explain it, because they would understand it.
a programmer can understand it as (1,+,1) are 3 characters
-6 = -6; 4-10 = 9-15; add 25/4 both side; 4-10+ 25/4 = 9-15 +25/4; 2^2 -(2 2 5/2) + (5/2)^2 = 3^2 -(2 3 5/2) + (5/2)^2; or, (2 - 5/2)^2 = (3- 5/2)^2; or, 2- 5/2 = 3- 5/2; or 2=3; or 1+1 = 3 ;
The equation is actually
1 . 4 + 1 . 4 = 2 . 8
The physicist rounded it off to obtain
1 + 1 = 3 .
