Re: Is one wrong answer more wrong?
[ QUOTE ]
Given that this is a logical problem, there are only true and false statements. Saying that one false statement is 'more wrong' than another false statement does not compute.

It is a simple case of applying Degrees of Wrongness. 2+2=5 gives us +1, so it's at Level 1 on the Wrongness scale. 2+2=-63 is a -59 on the scale, so it is in fact really really right; more righter, in fact, than 2+2=4, which has a mere 0 Degrees of Wrongness.
The question we're left with, of course, is: at what point does an answer become so right that it is, in fact, wrong? In other words, is it possible to be more wronger and less righter despite increasing the degree of Less Wrongitude past the point of Extreme Rightness?
