3. ________________ Having done extensive research, and contacting several consultants, I believe that 3 is the correct answer. However, it is fun to consider that we are making all kinds of assumptions. Yes, they are assumptions that are part of the standard arithmetic system. We are assuming that we really know what is meant by 1, 2 and 3, and we are also requiring that the "1" and the "2" be exclusive. Couldn't there be a system where exclusivity is indeterminate, or somehow has to be determined before an addition can take place? And what's addition all about, anyway?

no if 1 plus 1 equals 2 then 2 plus 2 equals 4.
1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5
One plus one is two. It can be expressed mathematically as 1+1 = 2.
1+1 or 1 plus 1 is equal to 2.
Try 1 plus 2. Maybe even 1.5 plus 1.5.Just a suggestion.
