this had been around for a while, it was a bonus question on the Harvard application form:
If 1=5, 2=25, 3=125, 4=625, 5=?

5 = 1
He did say that 1 equals 5, thus therefore 5 equals 1.
I can go to harvard now?
But in all fairness I stole the answer from the same riddle you asked in the old riddle thread.
Reposting your own stuff leads to me looking for that post for 10 minutes.

It is obvious that 5 = 1... I have no idea how you people got to 537263126832 and stuff like that.

you guys got a funny way of doing it, simple took me all of a few secs
1 = 5
5*5 = 2
2 = 25
5*25 = 3
3 = 125
5*125 = 4
4 = 625
5*625 = 5
5 = you answer

I'll show you a formula that proves that 1 = 2: a = b Multiply it by b ab = b^ Subtract by a^ ab - a^ = b^ - a^ Factor a(b-a) = (b-a) (b+a) Divide by (b-a) a = b+a Since a = b, substitute.. a+a=a Simplify a = 2a Divide by a a = a+a 1 = 1+1 1 = 2

If A = B and you're dividing by (b-a)...Your math is flawed.
