ok i think this works out enjoy
AutoMessage: a=b
a^2=ab
a^2-b^2=ab-b^2
(a+b)(a-b)=b(a-b)
(a+b)=b
a+a=a
2a=a
2=1

does it surprise you

...reminds me of a joke...sorry if you've heard it before:

An Iraqi teacher was intercepted flying into LAX yesterday. Authorities found on him the following - a protractor, a slide-ruler and a calculator...

...George W Bush has announced that this interception is undeniable proof that Iraqi DO possess WEAPONS of MATHS INSTRUCTION....





Peace,
ALIEN

This is a nice and very old puzzle in which one undertakes to prove �2 equals 1� ( the 2's are "squared")

a = b multiply both sides by a
a2 = ab take b2 from both sides
a2 - b2 = ab - b2 then factorise
(a+b) (a-b) = b (a-b) then divide by (a-b)
a+ b = b but b = a
so 2a = a
so 2= 1
the flaw of course is in line �divide by (a-b) because you are, of course, dividing by zero.
