1=2

let's put

a=1   b=1

a=b

ab=b^2                       (multiply by b)

ab-a^2 = b^2 - a^2 (substract a^2)

a(b-a)= (b+a)(b-a)   (factorize)

a = b+a                      divide by (b-a)) - ERROR!

a= 2a                        (since a=b)

1= 2                           since(a=1)

b-a = 1-1 = 0 

You can't divide (b-a) because you can't divide by zero. Otherwise it would make that proof true and 1 would equal 2!

welll let's put a=1 ast the end problem solved



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.
