Easy
Which way would you like that answered?
2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8
When rounded 2 + 2 = 5
X=y
X2=xy
X2-y2=xy-y2
(x+y)(x-y)=y(x-y)
X+y=y
2y=y
2=1
1=0
Therefore 2+2+0=5
1/3 = 0.33333333333333 ... multiply by 3
Therefore 3/3 = 0.9999999999999999999
1=0.9999999999999999... subtract 0.99999999...
0.000 1=0 divide by 0.000 1
1=0
Therefore 2+2+0=5

Is this for a class or something? I ask because wily responses such as allusions to Orwell or tying knotted rope may satisfy the terms you've given us, but may be wholly unacceptable for what you're trying to do.
And for what it's worth, if you have a piece of wood, cut it twice, and then cut it twice again, you will now have five total pieces.

obviously 1 and 3 are wrong. for the second one, if x = y, you can not divide each side by x-y, because you can not divide anything by 0.
Code:
#define 5 4or
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
const double TWO = 2.5;
cout << "2 + 2 = " << (TWO + TWO) << endl;
}
So...
2 + 2 = 5
Two large twos equal one small five.
ha. best answer! or most ridiculous.
