In base 3,
2 + 2 = 11
This is not an academic exercise, since in hexadecimal 8 = 7 = F, important in letting us talk like this.

These other systems do not change the fact that 2 + 2 is 4.
Pick any base you want, do all the conversions, it still equals 4. Not the symbol '4,' but the quantity. Change the names; it doesn't change the quantity.
