Let x = 1
Multiply both sides by x:
x2 = x
Subtract x from both sides:
x2 - x = 0
Factorise:
x(x - 1) = 0
Divide both sides by (x - 1):
x = 0

So x = 0.

Therefore 1 = 0

And 65 = 64!

the ares of those triangles etc arnt that which were stated because those lines rnt nececerally straight lines, they are slighly parabolic down or up.... thus losing exactly 1 square...

this is from a famous maths question, but instead of a whole square changed into a recktangle, they just used one triangle..

lol... stupid? most likely in a sence... but 1+1 = window... no... lol

well i'll provide u with the answer... just look at the nearest clock...lol its 11(o'clock) u plus 60 and it becomes 12 (o' clock)

11+60=12

or 11(minutes) + 60(seconds) = 12 (minutes)

lol...
