Seen on a bumper sticker:

2 + 2 = 5

for very large values of 2

> 2 + 2 = 5, for very large values of 2 <

Ha! That’s actually an old saying in physics.

For the curious, here’s an example. Let’s say you have a poor scale that can only measure weight to the nearest pound. You weigh a brick, and get 2 pounds. But the brick might actually weigh 2.4 pounds if measured to the nearest tenth of a pound.

So two 2-pound bricks together would weigh 5 pounds.
(2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8, rounds to 5)
