| Proof that 1+1=3 |

First, let's establish a basic equation:
Infinity + Infinity = Infinity
2*Infinity = Infinity
2*Infinity/Infinity = Infinity/Infinity
Therefore:
2=1
Now:
1+1=3
Substitute the previous equation to get:
1+2=3
Therefore:
3=3
So 1+1=3!
Just a bit of silliness that my friends and I used to do to confuse 1st semester Calculus students in High School. |

You'll get 1+1=4 with that though.. | by krikkert | 2004-07-12 13:06:13 |

yep, that's Llyr's one. Quel coincidence. (n/t) | by bugarup | 2004-07-12 13:28:38 |

Llyr has a similar proof involving a zero division | by bugarup | 2004-07-12 13:24:13 |

Yeah, that's an old one, older than Llyr. | by bassplayer | 2004-07-12 14:13:48 |
