Come on, now. Don't be so hard on yourself. 🙂

Bingo! This is the solution that I was looking ofor.

That's cheating! .2 is 0.2, in many places .2 isn't used to shorten 0.2!

i don't get it!...can u explain further please:

sqrt(.2^(-2))

to me, this translates to: sqrt(sqrt .2) isn't it?...and that isn't 5

Raise .2 to the power of -2. Then, take the square root of that result.

x^(-x) = 1/(x^x)
x^(1/x) = root_x(x)

2+2+2+2+2 / 2 = 5

What is the answer

It is obvious


(2+2) + (2/2)= 5

2+2+the brain cells in your head=5
im a genious
