[HIVEMIND] And now for something completely different

[Crothian]

Do the math.

*clonk*

Here it is:


"Proof" that 1 + 1 = 1

a = 1
b = 1

a = b
a2 = b2
a2 - b2 = 0
(a-b)(a+b) = 0
(a-b)(a+b)/(a-b) = 0/(a-b)
1(a+b) = 0
(a+b) = 0
1 + 1 = 0
2 = 0
1 = 0
1 + 1 = 1

So that's what a forehead hitting a keyboard sounds like.

Hey there, Mark. I see you're using your old acct. again.

 

[barsoomcore]

Yeah, you can prove anything with, um, proofs.

 

[Dungannon]

Umm, Crothian? That makes no sense whatsoever.

Hey there, Mark. I see you're using your old acct. again.

Retired at 4,000 and then lost posts in the purge. Now I'm using whichever one pops up as I sign in. *shrug*

 

[Crothian]

Umm, Crothian? That makes no sense whatsoever.

I'm just stting 1 = 1 and proving that I can have them equal other things as well

 

[Crothian]

Yeah, you can prove anything with, um, proofs.

Not really.....

 

[barsoomcore]

Not really.....

Oh. I thought you took the "Prove Anything With Proofs" feats.

 

[Crothian]

Oh. I thought you took the "Prove Anything With Proofs" feats.

Not anything can be proven with proofs though. Proofs are actaully more difficult then people realize.

 

[barsoomcore]

Indeed. It's even possible to prove that not everything can be proven via proofs.

Or, not quite. I think the idea is that in any system, some true statements cannot be proven.

Godel.
