Because you're dealing with integers, 2+2 could equal anywhere from 3 to 5.
Any real number from 1.51 to 2.49 would be rounded to 2 when converting from real numbers to integers.
1.51 + 1.51 = 3.02, which, when rounded to convert to integers, is three.
2.49 + 2.49 = 4.98, which, when rounded to convert to integers, is 5.
Or so it was concluded when my brother and sister-in-law got into an argument over it over pizza and beer while they were still dating.
(it's always interesting to hear where the conversation leads when computer techies and mathematicians get drunk together) -

Which is a detailed way of saying:
2+2=5
For sufficiently high values of 2. -
