  • Another easy way to add 2 + 2

    step one- Add 1027 to each number it will become 1029 + 1029

    step two- now add 1029 + 1029 in your head. oh it's simple. it is 2058.

    step three- now multiply 1027 by 2 and subtract the answer from 2058. it would be 4.

    step four- check your answer using a scientific calculator. you could use a computer too. Amazing ... isn't it :)

  • oh my god, you're making simple addition more complicated that it is....keep the normal method of addition

  • @slowley363 That's a joke right? Obviously the video would be longer as he's explaining it, doesn't mean the method is that long.

  • Lol really helped... I still hae math dough

  • Hi Sean (or is it Shawn?). No matter what, you're intent was to offer kind and free assistance to appreciative ones. I do, however, have one insight that would have made this video much easier.

    Borrow 2 from 644 (now, 642) and giving it to 238 (now, 240). Now just add: 642 + 240 = 882. Two simple steps that can indeed be done in the head.

  • Pretty awesome. It is manageable. Know I know how all my nerdy friends who won't tell me how do it. :D

  • lame
