Y + 2 = Y ... Anyone have the answer?

I may have fell for a very old troll, but this one is halfway driving me nuts. Google is no help. Just sarcastic nerd replies. Quoting: Borian if Y is a number divided by zero then Y is undefined. and 2 + an undefined number is still undefined undefined = undefined solved Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17870763 undefined.... how inspiring.

Infinity is not a number just an arbitrary word to represent endless numbers it still increases by two so it would be °°+2 or Y+2=Y+2 because we are now keeping track of infinity Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1506508 there's another solution. y = infinity infinity+2 = infinity infinity = infinity solved

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19048689 it must be 2 = 2/{(y-2)/(y-2)} it must be, because {(y-2)/(y-2)} = 1, and 2/1 = 2. im too lazy to solve for y. if it doesnt, then you'd be right. glad to add to the confusion.

Self contradiction by its OWN definition is in itself an invalid number, or definition. philosophically invalid. In fact it looks more like a simple definition of a bad philosphical statement or argument than a math equation. Last Edited by Intergalactic Diplomat on 07/06/2012 12:38 AM
