2=1? A Series of Brain Teasers

Sometimes the truth is stranger than the fiction

A while ago, I stumbled upon this interesting math concept. The equation below proves that 2 is equal to 1; but we know for a fact that 2 does not equal to 1. So what’s wrong with this equation? Can you figure it out?

     a = x            [true for some a's and x's]
   a+a = a+x          [add a to both sides]
    2a = a+x          [a+a = 2a]
 2a-2x = a+x-2x       [subtract 2x from both sides]
2(a-x) = a+x-2x       [2a-2x = 2(a-x)]
2(a-x) = a-x          [x-2x = -x]
     2 = 1            [divide both sides by a-x]

Answers/hints will be given at the bottom of the post. But before I show you the answer, here are some more interesting brain teasers! (more…)

A while ago, I stumbled upon this great DYI How to on how to make a paper wallet. A paper wallet is great because papers are thin. At first it seems kind of risky to put your money on paper (puns anyone?). (more…)

Back to twittering

A while ago, I decided to start twitting, but I never followed through. Today, I decided to twit again and join the craze. The first task was to make sure that I will update. While I was on Del.icio.us I saw this great program called Twitbin.

Free Advertisements

Advertisement, The American Heritage dictionary defines it as,

1. The act of advertising.
2. A notice, such as a poster or a paid announcement in the print, broadcast, or electronic media, designed to attract public attention or patronage.

Obviously, definition #1 still holds true. But definition #2 are somewhat questionable. Why? because it says “PAID ANNOUNCEMENT”. Apparently, this is not true. Consider the following…
