I know that but why does that keep popping up as the correct answer on my test for algebra 2 like it would say 2+2=5 true or false and i say false and get it wrong. Then i go to ask my teacher how did i get it wrong and she said because someone made a theory that 2+2=5 and she wants me to go find who so now im asking who?

Literally the only two things that I found was that it was used as a joke in one sense: "If you do 2.3 rounded (2) + 2.4 rounded (2), you get 4.7 which rounds to 5." 

And the other had to do with a quote by George Orwell from a book.

...But with that being said I have no idea what that has to do with your test lol.
