Maddogme wrote ... 2+2=4 actually 2+2 also equals 2. Let a and b be equal non-zero quantities a = b Multiply through by a a^2 = ab Subtract b^2 a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2 Factor both sides (a - b)(a + b) = b(a - b) Divide out (a - b) a + b = b Observing that a = b b + b = b Combine like terms on the left 2b = b Divide by the non-zero b 2 = 1 EDIT: one of the other ways 2=1 Multiplying any number by 0 gives an answer of zero. For example 2*0 = 0. Rearranging the equation gives 2 = {0 \over 0} However, by the same reasoning 1*0 = 0 1 = {0 \over 0} and since {0 \over 0} = {0 \over 0} substitution gives 2 = 1 The same method can be used to show that any number is equal to 1.

Postman you can't divide through by (a-b) because (a-b) = 0 and you can't divide by zero. You fail. |

By the common intuitive meaning of multiplication we can see that 4 x 3 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 It can also be seen that for a non-zero x x = 1_1 + 1_2 + ... + 1_x Now we multiply through by x x^2 = x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_x Then we take the derivative with respect to x 2x = 1_1 + 1_2 + ... + 1_x Now we see that the right hand side is x which gives us 2x = x Finally, dividing by our non-zero x we have 2 = 1 |

you cant divide by zero! -[link]- -[link]- and everything post man posted you can find just by searching google "2+2=1" or "2=1" |

that would cost you $30 to copyright them, but I bet you didn't know you cannot copyright mathematical shit? I'm serious, I just studied copyright in my law class. I thought that was cool
