Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 ate 9.

In honor of today, Worlds Maths Day (no typo, and not to be confused with Pi Day which is later in the month, obviously; and and even though yesterday was National Reading Day), please read at your leisure, my favorite math proof:

Assume:

let a = b

multiply each side by a:

a^2 = ab

subtract b^2 from both sides:

a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2

factor:

(a - b)(a + b) = b(a-b)

divide each side by (a - b):

a + b = b

from the opening assumption:

b + b = b

simplify:

2b = b

divide by b and ergo:

2 = 1

Q.E.D.

Simple ergonomics.  By the way, hope everyone had an enjoyable Casimir Pulaski day (3/1).  Go Pierogis!
