Well - some idiot in my class once tried to give this really long-winded theory to prove that 1+1=1 There were at least 3 discrepancies in his explanation.

Well, 1+1=3 applies to marriage, 2 individuals still exist, and they create a 3rd person, the couple. Actually, there are many ways to look at how people act... they're 2 different people depending on who they're with.

So anyway, I'm gonna go be my other self now, catch ya later...

Hmm, not according to the math I learnt in skool..

Of course, what you meant to say was:

if 1/3 = .333333..
and 2/3 = .666666..
then 1/3 + 2/3 = .999999..

But the fallacy is in the addition. Adding the two infinitely repeating remainder does not equal another infinitely repeating remainder.
