Answer 6

Imagine:
***You are writing your final exam - you're scratching your pen furiously, and you find that you just have a minute left, and still one question to go, you flip over to the last page of the question paper and read last question "log2 + log50 = x". "Sitter" - you say to yourself, and with a wide grin on your face, add the two logs according to their properties, get log100=x, or x=2, and race to the end, just as the final bell rings, and the invigilator snatches away your answer-scripts. "Phewww...." - a sigh of relief escapes your mouth....***
