I don't think so. Here we need to interpret '=' differently. It's a
question related to relations.(set theory.)
If we don't go by usual meaning of '=' , then there is no reason of
thinking that '=' here is comuatative.

I think shobhit's answer is right, If there are no strings attached to the
question

So many possibilities. It can be a harmonic function also where values repeat..Therefore fifth value can be the same as first...

Ans: 5 = 5^5

where ^ is raise to the power function.
its up to you to take 5 = 1 or as 5 literally :D
