One never equals three

if I take 1 and subtract 3 from it, I get negative two, not zero.

I dunno, the amounts of letters in "one" add up to three though, so...

You're trying to look smart but you're coming off as a smartass
Who doesn't know what he's talking about

If you're going to be that way, then 3 is a variable representing the number of letters in the word "three", which is five
3=5; 5=5

there

this only works in the english language and it isn't even a math problem, just a thing to mess with one's mind

a number can't represent a variable for a different number

letters can, but not numbers

1. Let a and b be equal non-zero quantities

a = b ,

2. Multiply through by a

a^2 = ab ,

3. Subtract b^2 ,

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

4. Factor both sides

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

5. Divide out (a - b) ,

a + b = b ,

6. Observing that a = b ,

b + b = b ,

7. Combine like terms on the left

2b = b ,

8. Divide by the non-zero b

2 = 1 ,

But "one" is not a number, it's a word. A word made from letters.

rex that was the "prove all math wrong" equation right
my teacher showed me that before


today started out terrible as i woke up in the middle of the night due to gas (the chest kind)
i'm drinking some peppermint tea now, so it's all good!

that is so faulty, you're just hiding division by 0 in algebra, a-b would equal 0

Eh, thanks for seeing my reasoning guys, but I didn't want us to act so mean at Nixter. Just to be clear, of course the problem is made in order for people not to think too hard into it. Also, put the equation as "one=three, two=three," and so on makes the equation too easy to understand.

Video game club wasn't the best yesterday. We've lost a bunch of people and it wasn't really too fun either. The worst part is that one of my friends brought his SSBM and the data got erased. He just unlocked all the stages that week, so I felt bad and my brother and I helped him to unlock his stuff again. We unlock like seven or eight characters in like four hours. I kinda enjoyed doing that.
