Did you know the 2=1?

[FreakyLocz14]

PROOF

x=1; therefore, x^2=1

x^2-1=x-1

(x-1)(x+1)=x-1

x+1=1

2=1

Did that blow your mind or what?

No, not really. Fact is, 2 does not equal 1 and 1 does not equal 2. Goofy math = 1, and I suppose it follows that 2= goofy math. So goofy math=goofy math.

By golly, you are correct.

But I proved it mathematically. Is there a flaw in my proof?

Lets see

x=1
therefore
x -1 = 0
You cant divide anything by Zero
thats why you cant divide both sides by x-1

x=1;
(x-1)(x+1) = X-1
(0)(2)=0

the equation is over!

It's fudging the numbers. Thou shall not divideth by zero.

Division by zero is not allowed. and as Dr. Math says, "the fact that you got 2 = 1 is proof."

Gah! You guys caught the divide by zero fallacy. Y'all are some smart cookies.
