Ah yes, Fibbin Archie. Wasn't he Al Capone's bookkeeper?

That's terrible! 😉 😉 😉

I googled, yes I now remember the Fibonacci Series - Wabbits!! great stuff!!😛

soz all my spelling is terrible...

hey we've taken over bevs thread a bit

I'm sure Bev will be okay, or maybe a Mod should split & move this to off the subject.

Check this out

all real numbers are equal to zero?? Apparently everyone accepts it!?

What the hell? So I ask how many beers do you want?

I do my humble worst.

I think I have proof somewhere that 1=2 among other things, I will try to find it for you!

Is this a conspiracy? I was always taught that 1 = 1!????Please dont confuse me even more!😛Bev

Today's homework - "Is zero positive or negative?"

Tomorrow - Fractal geometry!

He he - I read this as 'rectal geography'!😱Bev

hahhaaa best link n ages ...maths teachers eh we are all still scared if them why....mine was 6Ft 8" rugby player we called the jolly green giant

As promised earlier. (A drink in the pub for anyone who spots what is wrong with it!) 😉

"Proof": 2 = 1
a = b
a2 = ab
a2 - b2 = ab-b2
(a-b)(a+b) = b(a-b)
a+b = b
b+b = b
2b = b
2 = 1

As promised earlier. (A drink in the pub for anyone who spots what is wrong with it!) 😉

"Proof": 2 = 1
a = b
a2 = ab
a2 - b2 = ab-b2
(a-b)(a+b) = b(a-b)
a+b = b
b+b = b
2b = b
2 = 1

Huh? No, wait - I get it, it's one of those logic thingies isn't it?

Along the same lines as:

I think, therefore I am

and

I eat, therefore I fart

 

[AlisonM]

On the other hand I'm reliably informed that 1 + 1 = 3 if you don't wear a condom.

 

[rossi_mac]

1+1+1 is one

 

[HelenM]

As promised earlier. (A drink in the pub for anyone who spots what is wrong with it!) 😉

"Proof": 2 = 1
a = b
a2 = ab
a2 - b2 = ab-b2
(a-b)(a+b) = b(a-b)
a+b = b
b+b = b
2b = b
2 = 1

If I haven't got anything, I can't share it with anyone😛

Youve started off with 2=1 -then re-arranged it - therefore you have ended up with 2=1 - you couldnt have ended up with anything different. I know this is probably wrong - but it makes sense in my head!Bev

Sorry, the first line is badly written 😱, it should be more like:

A proof that 2=1 is:-

a=b
etc.

In saying that, given that you are correct 😎 that if I had started with that and therefore couldn't end up with anything else, what drink can I get you at the pub so it is waiting for when you next pop in?
