You probably shouldn't show that proof to your algebra teacher.

And he entered the service of the Dark Tower when it first rose again, and because of his cunning he grew ever higher in the Lord's favour; and he learned great sorcery, and knew much of the mind of Sauron; and he was more cruel than any orc.

Instead, you should show a 0.9999... = 1 proof.

I heard someone say once (paraphrasing here) "Multiflag on Blood Gulch with your friends is what makes Halo, Halo." I GUARANTEE that more people agree with that sentiment than "Getting a 50 in MLG is what makes Halo, Halo." - Oboewan42

Ergo: 2+2 - 9/2 = 5
Hence: 2 + 2 = 5


(2+2) - 9/2 = 5 ?
(4) - 9/2 = ?
8/2 - 9/2 = -1/2

..what is this...

Creating Windows OS = -blam!- load of cash

yet he has not died yet.


There are other parts of the equation in play in that case.

Gates = Nerd
Nerd = Reclusive
Reclusive = Quiet
Quiet = Peace


Peace - Stress = Neutral
Nerd in itself would be a variable, as it is merely an opinion.

You cannot subtract stress from peace, as there is no stress in peace.

Next?


Yes, I meant to write Stress - Peace = Neutral.

Also, it's a well-known fact that Glasses = Nerd.

Maybe we could properly prove that 2+2=5, unlike the OP.
Lemma a: 1 = 2.

Proof.
Let a = b. Then a^2 = ab, so 2a^2 = a^2 + ab. Then 2a^2 - 2ab = a^2 - ab, which factorizes as 2(a^2 - ab) = (a^2 - ab). Cancellation yields 1 = 2.
QED.


Theorem: 2 + 2 = 5.

Proof. 2 + 2 = 3 + 1. Since 1 = 2 (by lemma a), this implies 2 + 2 = 3 + 2, which sums to 5. Therefore 2 + 2 = 5.
QED.
If variable A is zero?


Complicated ain't it?

Start with: -20 = -20
Which is the same as: 16-36 = 25-45
Which can also be expressed as: (2+2) 2 (9 X (2+2) = 52) 9 X 5
Add 81/4 to both sides: (2+2) 2 (9 X (2+2) + 81/4 = 52) 9 X 5 + 81/4
Rearrange the terms: ({2+2}) 9/2) 2 = (5-9/2) 2
Ergo: 2+2 - 9/2 = 5
Hence: 2 + 2 = 5

This was calculated in Gaelic BTW.


wait a second
(9 X (2+2) = 52)
that is false

Let a = b. Then a^2 = ab, so 2a^2 = a^2 + ab. Then 2a^2 - 2ab = a^2 - ab, which factorizes as 2(a^2 - ab) = (a^2 - ab). Cancellation yields 1 = 2.
QED.

2 = 2
2^2 = 2*2
2(2)^2 = 2^2 + 4
2(2)^2 - 8 = 2^2 - 4
8 - 8 = 4 - 4
2(4 - 4) = 4 - 4
0 = 0

Okay, Okay, I know why this is wrong. What you're essentially saying is 2 times 0 is 0. Well no -blam!- -blam!-. That's a property of mathematics.

All you brainiacs who think you can disprove that math is a system of rules, psh.

and let me go on record by saying this;

Math was 'invented'. There will be things that are wrong, no matter what... even if mathematically sound.

suck it, brainiacs!
