The puzzle follows a pattern where the result equals twice the smaller number for most pairs (2×min(a,b)), which gives 2, 4, 6, and 4 for the four equations respectively. The first equation (1+5=1) is an exception to this pattern, suggesting either a more complex rule or possible corruption in the question data. Based on the pattern evident in the latter three examples, 4+2 equals 4.
