2 + 2 = 0?

I found this on a picture on deviantART, and the caption said the artist was learning about it… how can this be true? Anyone know?

Well, Wikipedia once told me that Winnie the Pooh wrote the song “Umbrella” for Rihanna.

I found it out, she explained it in one of the comments:

under addition modulo 4… otherwise known as clock arithmetic. In the same way that if you are at 1300 hours, and you add 12 hours, you end up at 0100, as opposed to 2500. So a 24-hour clock goes in circles of 24..
In the case of this comic, there are 4 dials on the “clock”, being: 0,1,2,3 . So if you are at 2 and go forward 2, you end up at 0. ^^

You create a ring with 4 numbers in it {0, 1, 2, 3}
1+1=2
1+2=3
1+3=4 but 4 is not in the ring so 4-4=0 thus 1+3=0
2+2=0
2+3=5 5 is not in the ring so 5-4=1 2+3=1
3+3=6 6-4=2 3+3=2

Well there is a trick in math where actually 2=1 and similarly you can do 2+2=0
Its simply by using algebric terms…
let a=squareroot of 2
let b=a
now subtract a from both sides we get
b-a=a-a
now multiply both sides by a+b we get
(a+b)(a-b)=(a+b) (a-a)
a^2+ b^2=(a+b)*0
which is
a^2 + b^2 =0
now a^2 =2
therefore 2+2=0

Now do you know the problem?
Its quite simple I multiplied by 0 i.e b-a=0

If I was working in mod 4 then also
2+2=0
or 3+1=0
or 4=0

In “2+2=0?” The question mark means “Is this true”
You are forgetting the “?”
