think you can get into Harvard? [CLOSED]
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2009 8:41 am
this had been around for a while, it was a bonus question on the Harvard application form:
If 1=5, 2=25, 3=125, 4=625, 5=?
If 1=5, 2=25, 3=125, 4=625, 5=?

5 = 1
He did say that 1 equals 5, thus therefore 5 equals 1.
I can go to harvard now?
But in all fairness I stole the answer from the same riddle you asked in the old riddle thread.
Reposting your own stuff leads to me looking for that post for 10 minutes.

It is obvious that 5 = 1... I have no idea how you people got to 537263126832 and stuff like that.

5^1 = 5
5^2 = 25
5^3 = 625
And so on.
Thus they think they need to do 5^5

you guys got a funny way of doing it, simple took me all of a few secs
1 = 5
5*5 = 2
2 = 25
5*25 = 3
3 = 125
5*125 = 4
4 = 625
5*625 = 5
5 = you answer
1 = 5
5*5 = 2
2 = 25
5*25 = 3
3 = 125
5*125 = 4
4 = 625
5*625 = 5
5 = you answer

dude, even 5=1 is wrong in math, so the symbole '=' is not the same as the '=' in math, therefore (1=5 <=> 5=1) is false

Haven't you read the question?
Math is all about formulas.. I'll show you a formula that proves that 1 = 2:
a = b
Multiply it by b
ab = b^
Subtract by a^
ab - a^ = b^ - a^
Factor
a(b-a) = (b-a) (b+a)
Divide by (b-a)
a = b+a
Since a = b, substitute..
a+a=a
Simplify
a = 2a
Divide by a
a = a+a
1 = 1+1
1 = 2

You can't divide by zero. If A = B and you're dividing by (b-a)...Your math is flawed.
