Square root of 4 = 2

2+2 = 4

Now give me the point  :)

Five is twice as close to being it as one is, but of course neither are as only four is. Six is exactly 50% of the way to being it, and ten is further away from being it than eleven is. Seven and three are equally close to being it, but it isn't five  :)
