A guy on the sci.chem newsgroup had this counterexample:
1.6 + 1.6 = 3.2To one significant figure, 2 + 2 = 3
I found that hilarious.
Me too! And the color gold...

Two plus two equals one hundred twenty!? (5! = "five factorial) ;-)

...only for sufficiently small values of '2'.
Three people interview for the same position; a mathematician, an physicist, and an accountant. The interviewing manager decides to ask each one of them the same question to see how they handle it.
The manager asks the mathematician "what is two plus two?" The mathematician answers "for sufficiently large values of two, the answer should be four."
The manager then interviews the physicist and asks; "what's two plus two". The physicist answers; "ignoring relativistic effects, two plus two approaches four".
The manager then asks the accountant the question; "what two plus two". The accountant holds his finger to his lips, gets up and closes the door, and whispers; "what you you like it to be?"
Orange and blue.
