Check out my solution. It's super intensive.
here we go !!! 1 = 1 1 2 = 1 × 1 1 2 − 1 2 = 1 × 1 − 1 2 ( 1 + 1 ) ( 1 − 1 ) = 1 ( 1 − 1 ) c a n c e l l i n g ( 1 − 1 ) a n d w e g e t 1 + 1 = 1 h e y F i n n i g o t 1 + 1 = 1 what should i do
just kidding here this is taken from Sharky's note .

You're awesome! :D
You know why it 'works'. Cuz you just divide by 0 (See cancelling 1-1). AND if that is true, math breaks and everything does not make sense
This is obvious and doesn't require any explanation.

This is because of the lame trick young children have about 1+1 being 11. Thus this problem is directed towards young kids, telling them to think again.

i think people using this site are not that young that they should be taught that 1+1=2 and not 11
This problem does not live up to trollathon's reputation... :p
I thought that since it's a troll, the + symbol here denoted the logic symbol of OR gate and so I answered 1 + 1 = 1 at first. :P
This is how I solved it but it requires an intensive amount of math knowledge.
Let's say 1 + 1 = n . n has to be positive. Then 1 = n − 1 . Squaring it, we get 1 = n 2 − 2 n + 1 . 0 = n 2 − 2 n . 0 = n ( n − 2 ) . Since we want a positive number, n = 2 .
Therefore 1 + 1 = 2 (mind blow!)
1 in the mind 1 in the finger after one 2.So 2 is the answer. 1+1=2 i have one chocolate if i get another there will be two. Is this explanation enough.If anyone can't understand you can ask for explanation again
OK it took a while but I think I got it. First start with the normal construction of the natural numbers. 0 = ∅ and define the successor operation ′ : N → N such that ( A ) ′ = { A } ∪ A . By the axiom of infinity this can be applied as many times as we like. Now we find that 1 = { ∅ , { ∅ } } and addition by one is the same as succession therefore the answer is 1 ′ = { { { ∅ , { ∅ } } } , { ∅ , { ∅ } } } = 2 .
Some day, I will understand your notation. And in that moment, I shall be euphoric.

I now understand your notation, and past me was correct, I am euphoric.
WHY MAKE SUCH AN EASY QUESTION SO DIFFICULT?!
Count your fingers..two stick out..by the way, only 92% people got this right!
Holy moly I thought this was a trick question lol
i too thought the same and answered as 11!
so simpleeeeeeeeeeee.................................
I got this wrong :/

wow may i know what answer you gave
cedric..please please please teach me how to go wrong in this
First draw one line on a paper and beside it draw one more line. Now count both of them together u will get 2.That's the answer.
