  According to the given figures,
  
  1=5, 2=25.
  
  Therefore 1x2 = 5x25
  
  Therefore 5x25 = 5x25
  
  Therefore 5 = 5.

  1=5
  2=5²
  3=5³

  How can we make 5x25 = 5x25? We must account for this mah. Suddenly, assign 5x25 to be 5x25 and we conveniently cancel the 25. Why not cancel 5 and 25 together?
  
  Cannot, want to laugh liao.....

  because 1x2= 5x25
  
  so he substitute 1x2 with 5x 25 mah
  
  therefore 5x25= 5x25 mah
  
  lol
  
  its crap logic though
  
  but logical

  But it is illogical that we cancel only 25.

  Just to make it more clear. Let me explain why we cannot do this.
  
  If since 25=25 and we cancel them, so can 5=5 be cancel. It is illogical if we let 5x25=5x25 then we only see 25=25 and cancel them and we forget that 5=5. So doesn't it can be cancelled too?

  1 = 5
  2 = 25
  3 = 125
  4 = 625
  5 = ?
  
  For the fun of it.

  I have some other crap answers
  
  if 1 = 5 and 2 = 25
  
  Then 1+2 = 5+25
  
  Therefore 3 = 30
  
  Therefore 3/6 = 30/6
  
  There 0.5 = 5
  
  TADAH!!!

  Yes, this is more logical than your previous one. Tell me, are you majoring in Mathematics. You are great man. I will post the answer when I have solved it.
  
  Please post more of your crappy answers. I love your solutions.

  i think gasband already shown how equations like 1 + 1 need not be 2...
