Consider any two real numbers, a and b, where a = b.

Multiply both sides by a:

a x a = a x b

Subtract b x b from both sides:

(a x a) - (b x b) = (a x b) - (b x b)

The left side is (a + b) x (a - b)

Distribute the right side:

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

Divide both sides by (a - b)

a + b = b

Substitute a for b:

a + a = a

Thus, 2 x a = a

Divide both sides by a:

2 = 1

Add one to both sides:

2 + 1 = 1 + 1

Thus, 3 = 1 + 1, or 1 + 1 = 3.

Subjective my man.
1+1=2 (math)
1=1=3 (sex)
1+1= 11(beside)

I like 1+1=11 myself.
The best lie is based off the truth!!!lol

By PROVING it.

BTW, to the dude above:

"Distribute the right side:

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

Divide both sides by (a - b)
"

You can't divide by (a - b) if a and b are equal, because that would give you a 0 in the denominator. Since a - b can't be equal, then a + b is NOT b, therefore, the rest of the "proof" is wrong.

call them a, b, and c. a and c represent mathematical truths in a base 3 or higher system (a) or base 2 (b, i.e., computer language) system. b is the odd man out, and appears with out logic, so that is perhaps a mystical, metaphysical or irrational truth.

farewell on your quest for truth.
