oh, come on cathal, I was expecting something a little more challenging from you. Needed some easy points huh?

well Rayn, you've also gained quite a lot of points by submitting so many easy and unchallenging rebus questions.
It's not even true. 10+10 does not equal 4. 10 + 10 = 100 if we are talking binary. You can't mix and match the bases as you please just to fit the criteria of your puzzle. Nice try but an utter failure.
10+10 is equal to four I didn't write down 10+10 =4 so I havn't mixed the numbers. I was careful not to do it. I pointed out how you were wrong in one puzzle chamberpot, and you have tried to rubbish all of my teasers... how sad a pathetic is that? At least I can admit when I make a mistake (I do it ehough as does EVERYBODY) you really are a child.
Another solution is if you are in base 16. In which case 10+10=4
What do you mean base 16? Hex? I don't get that one, could you explain it please?
Well, if your just going to put stuff in the problem, why don't you just do 10+10-10-10=4? Seems just as easy huh?
I think the puzzle is fine. Four is the number of fingers I have on one hand not counting the thumb. This can be represented symbolically in many ways.
4 ; 2 x 2 , 8 / 2 ; 2^2 ; 2 + 2 and 10(base 2) + 10(base 2). Easy puzzle I reckon.
4 ; 2 x 2 , 8 / 2 ; 2^2 ; 2 + 2 and 10(base 2) + 10(base 2). Easy puzzle I reckon.
