Re: this is fun

I've used three sheets of paper, and four hours, and I still don't have the answer.

I give up.

Re: this is fun

Perhaps if we used some Algebra on it

Start With: 1+1=x
Subtract x from both sides: 1+1-x=x-x
Subtract 1 from both sides: 1+1-x-1=x-x-1
Simplify: 1-x=-1

I think that is as far as I can simplify it.

Hm, a very hard problem.

Re: this is fun

i have the answer you idiots. she said at the start 1+1=?
a little bit of logic is all that is needed.

Of COURSE, how silly of us ... it was a statement, not a question.

Re: this is fun

well my teacher told me that if u simplify it down to where both sides are the same number, then every solution works for that problem.
so maybe..
hmmm
i multiplied both sides by zero
and both sides were the same number.
so taht must mean taht 1+1 = the universe

1+1=2...

That's a little too convenient, don't you think? wink

You're making erroneous assumptions by doing that. What we need from you is a rigorous proof that your hypothesis is correct.

Re: this is fun

proof 1 + 1 cannot be solved

let x = 1+1
then

this is a 5th degree polynomial and thus we cannot find its roots! qed.

Nvm I think I have a proof:

Assume: 1 + 1 = 2

Now add perform additive inverses on both sides:

1 + (-1) + 1 + (-1) = 2 + (-2)

Therefore, 0 + 0 = 0

So 0 = 0

So 1 + 1 = 2

Re: this is fun

And it's so true. I see Patrick Stewart all the time on the Television playing that Brain Training game.

That guy must be bored! Let's throw him a party! With strobe lights, streamers, and a budget DJ.

Make it so, Number One! (I mean you Identity, of course.)
