: : : : : : Five and five equals two fives. No not ten. Notice that i didn't tell what the fives were. It might have been five books and five candy bars.

: : : If A=1, then FIVE AND FIVE equals 6+9+22+5+1+14+6+9+22+5, which equals 103, or 4 (if reduced the numerological way). Or, maybe it's just 10 or 55 or something just as inane.

: Five books plus five candy bars = five book/candy bar combinations.

: Incidentally, you did tell us what the fives were. When you say a number by itself, it is a noun. When a number describes a quantity of an object, numbers are adjectives. (Five is a noun, and the "five" in five books is an adjective) Since you used it alone, you used it in an abstract sense, without making the number describe anything and thus be an adjective. Five and five is ten, if you go by the numbers.

A five by itself is a number and not a noun. 5 and 5 is two fives, only ten if said as five plus five or five books say and five books. A five on this board plus another five make two fives on this board.
