    2+2=6 because 6/3 = 2, 2*3=6, 6/2=3, 6-2= 4


    2+2=6

    if you found the logic write it...

    I fail to see any logic in this. Perhaps you don't quite know how to work with fractions?

    A work you might want to read (or at least know about) before attempting any more of these "logic"s:
    Principia Mathematica
    Another very good one, though an article:

    This is a string of facts that are all true. They are all, therefore, irrelevant. Where is your logic sir?

    If 6 = 4, then 2 + 2 = "6". Cannot be, because 6 = 6.
    If 2 = 3, then "2" + "2" = 6. Cannot be, because 2 = 2.

    Hey, wait a minute...

    6 - 2 = 4
    4 = 4

    6 - 2 = 4
    6 = 2 + 4
    6 = 6

    6-2 = 4
    -2 = 4-6
    -2 = -2

    To put it in words, you're writing four is equal to four. You can only change that sum around to say six is equal to six, or negative two is equal to negative two, but no where does this imply that four is equal to six.

    Also the way you put this forward is like an inept hustler attempting Thimblerig, but at the end, taking the cup with the prize in it and replacing it with a see through empty cup and looking on smugly.

    It's good that you're thinking about maths like this. It's bad that you're doing so without a foundation of knowledge first (not that I'm any good at math either).

    Because you'd either have to be incredibly serious or incredibly drunk to post a thread saying "2+2=6"

    Alright, let me try this...

    2+2=4
    4*∞=∞
    6*∞=∞
    ∞=∞

    Therefore:

    4*∞=6*∞

    (4*∞)/∞=6

    4=6

    2+2=6

    Eat that, maths! :D (And, yes, this is my first post. Don't judge me! D:< )

    Actually, what you're doing here is taking limits as 4 or 6x approaches infinity, and since dividing ∞/∞ is undefined anyway it doesn't work. This is easily disprovable, which I'm given to believe you haven't learned yet.

    lim 4x = ∞
    x->∞

    lim 6x = ∞
    x->∞

    so (this would be an equivelant toe your "therefore" step)
    lim 4x/6x = 4/6.
    x->∞

    Trust math and mathematicians. They've spent years doing shit like this, and they can't and aren't going to be disproved so easily.
    (In fact, stuff like this is the entire reason why Principia Mathematica exists)
