try your math

Is this correct? I suspect a catch.

5 = 3125
 
1 = 5
2 = 25
3 = 125
4 = 625
5 = ?

Since from line 1, 1=5 therefore... 5=1
 
If
1 = 5
2 = 25
3 = 125
4 = 625
5 = ?

KNN you think everyone here is a Singaporean? Some of us here have brains, you know? The answer is 3125, of course. And I'm sure there are plenty of useless Singaporeans here who went through the whole laborious process of multiplying 5x5x5x5x5 rather than simply multiplying 625 by 5. Forget the math questions. My question is: why are Singaporeans so dumb? :rolleyes:

Since from line 2, 2 = 25 when 2 is actually = 2...we can conclude that the question is flawed from the start :rolleyes:
 
hahaha mr cruxx :)

Yes 1 cannot equal 5, therefore it means 1 represents 5. Can also say mouse = 5, and table = 2 etc. Therefore conclusion as one brother earlier states in my example 5 = mouse (1 = 5 therefore 5 = 1)
 
thats why i asked this early in the morning .....ask later when you guys more awake and alert then difficult to trick.....except clinton of course.

Haha I knew it, there was a catch.:)

You can say X = mouse but 5 = mouse? And you guys call it math? :confused:
 
ya lor...this section is for laffs only. Light material and you should know by now that i'm a light air head forummer...little substance leh :(

Haha ok. I didn't know that math here means non-math. Maybe I'm too serious for this informal setting. Paiseh :)
 
to be technical... yes, you can set 1=5. But of course, it makes it confusing.

In certain programming, we can make anything a variable, even integers and operators.... but it will create a hell of a lot confusion, and does not really serve good purposse.
