"Why shouldn't truth be stranger than fiction.Fiction after all, has to make sense" - Mark Twain.
If x=y then multiply each side of expression by x
i.e. x² = x•y
and add (x² - 2•x•y) to each side of expression
i.e. x² + (x² - 2•x•y) = x•y + (x² - 2•x•y)
i.e. 2(x² - x•y) = (x² - x•y)
i.e. 2 = 1
lolwut?!?
Abstracted from software engineering lecturer's assessment. YES, assessment.

edited your squares (²) and your multiplication symbols • alvin. hope you don't mind. =)
true xD doesn't make sense at first but need to remember that x=y
>.>
haha... yea. then that just leaves u with 0=0. which is right...
O.o i think.
i think somtime on the first week of tutorial, one of my lecturer was saying how zero isn't really defined properly..
and 0/x isn't always =0
...
=S
it just got us all pretty confused. can't rememeber what he said but it was pretty convincing.
Haha thx CJ.
Anyway, posted a new one.
Zeroes arent defined properly? Depends on how you define it though. Jeez, Mathematicians and their creations <.< WHo else on Earth would say the surface area of a table is a vector <.<
