Ok now without looking it up try this one (don't post the answer, it's quite tricky):

3 guys go to rent a motel room for the night , the desk clerk informs them it will be $30 dollars for the night. They agree and split the cost at $10 per person. The men check into their room and 30 minutes later, the desk clerk realizes that he charged them $5 too much, he sends the bellboy up to the room with 5 -$1 dollars bills as their rebate for overpayment. The men cannot agree on how to evenly split the $5 bucks, one guy suggests that they each take a dollar back and tip the bellboy $2 bucks for bringing it up to them.

Now we come to premise; which leaves each one of the guys paying $9 dollars each for the room; now, if 9x3=27 and they gave the bellboy a $2 dollar tip; bringing the total to 29; where did the other dollar go?

a = b.

a + a = a + b

2 x a = a + b.

2 x a × a = a x (a + b)

2 x a x a = a x a + a x b.

2 x a x a - 2 x a x b = a x a - a x b.

2 x (a x a - a × b) = a x a - a x b.

let's say: c = a × a - a × b:

2 × c = c.

so:

2 = 1.

My Chinese friend showed me this 'proof' using i:

1 = 1^½

lol

-1 < 9u²

You basically took what I said, then made it worse:

-1 < 9u²

in case you didn't know, √-1 is represented by the letter "i" because it's an impossible number.

I thought the "I" stands for imaginary

-1 < 9u² Take the square root of both sides:
  i < 3u

  i <3 u

[but with several mathematical flaws along the way ]

you have to divide by 0, which fucks shit up. Same with what I just wrote. [. . .]
Therefore, you fuck shit up.

9x = 10x - x
9x = 9x
x = 1

if 9x=9x
isn;t it 1=1
