Good luck

'what is the number you get when you add all numbers together'

I am away for a month so i will check the answers when i get back. Some people will think its annoying but i think it builds suspense.

This post will be long forgotten in a month's time.

And unless the question itself is a play on words, it should be zero.

Answer already found out, yes it is zero. (probably)

P.S. Infinity is not a number, its a concept.

P.P.S. Words wont work, the question asked for a number

Repost because I misread the question:

You're forgetting that there are things other than real numbers: imaginary (or complex) numbers. These are such numbers as the even-powered roots of negative real numbers. Complex numbers exist on a separate vector plane and can be expressed as functions of real numbers of as vectors (modulo-argument form). A real number can also be expressed this way.

Come to think of it, the sum of all vectors may come to zero too. But since woody thinks the answer isn't zero, I wonder what he's getting at. Uhm.

How about 42? :P

The answer is Zero. That is because of negatives.

So, he italicized "what" in the sentence above. Is there something we are missing in the question? Some alternate meaning?

If we add all numbers together...
...then we get several answers.

*zero, if you add in the concept taht every number excluding zero has a negative versain of itself.

*3, all numbers together are three words.

*18, if you count all the letters.

Honestly you cant realy add letters together except in algebra or unless you mean you add I and T to form IT or something crazy like that.

Even with complex numbers you would still come out with zero. Working with a number system like the natural numbers or the integers modulo. The answer could range from 0 to infinity.

I choose to express my answer in base one and say one xD

Hmmm, this is some new logic of mine, but if you add together all numbers, which include all vectors, imaginary, unreal, real numbers, square roots, etc. the answer will be zero. There is always a negative to positive and a positive to a negative. So with that being said the answer must be zero.

How do you come to that worrinpeace? You must at least describe to us how you came to that conclusion.
