Default Too much = Not enough

If 2 = A

And A = The Right amount

And 1 = B

And B = The Wrong Amount

And 3 = B

Because 3 is not the right amount

Then 3=1 because of the transitive property of something or other.

No.

B=B, it's plain a simple like that. 3 cannot equal 1, since a single variable cannot equal two numbers at the same time.

no you see first you must recalibrate the flux capacitor and move all the negative ions to the belt around uranus. Then your calculations will display the appropriate orbit for your binary star system.

Every single one of those "proofs" that 1=2 or 1=3 or whatever have some intrinsic flaw.

Like dividing by zero?

That's usually the case except for here. In this thread, he didn't grasp the concept of variables.

In the first one the shapes aren't exactly the same size if you actually check. The second one deals with dividing by zero.
