think you can get into Harvard? [CLOSED]

user · Post by **user** » 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=?

Yea T_T
Asuming you gotta do that without a calculator, that aint even 2 hard T_T 625 is a pretty easy number to multiply i guess

600*5=3000
25*5=125

3125 easy.

Funnily enough, I have a friend at Harvard

I did it like 625x4 = 2500 + 625 = 3125, but yea

pretty easy, i should go to Harvard aswell

no...thats why harvard is for business and law majors and not the real smart ppl. Smart ppl go to MIT or Berkley or Stanford...

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

Yeah, 5=1 no one said it was a product or a potency calculation.

1=5; 5=1

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

5 cannot equal 1.

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.

Was waiting for people to find the flaw ;-)

Many people wouldn't be able to find it.

The Furious Ninja · Post by **The Furious Ninja** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 9:27 am

before looking at the others

1

edit

my new answer must be 5=5

since they didn't confirm that 1 was the right answer
