Remember, you can always do 'what ever' you want to one side of the equation as long as you do the same on the other. x=2 is the same as x-1=2-1 :) This part of the “proof” was actually valid.

Thus, the proof is incorrect. Another method(which does not make sense, actually): We know that, 0! = 1 and 1! = 1 This proves that, 0! = 1! Cancelling factorial sign(!) on both sides, we get, 0 = 1 :-P The blog is pretty good:) I loved all the posts. Well,
a + b = b
i.e a = b – b
i.e a = 0
which contradicts the first statement of the proof that a and b are non zero quantities.
Thus, the proof is incorrect.

We know that,

Well some people felt there was to much math so I decided to give you an easier one to understand (and cooler also) although it might not be easier to solve. Your job is to find out what happened to the missing dollar, the story goes something like this: Three old ladies went to a restaurant and ordered some food for 30$. They decided to split the money by paying 10$ each. The waiter took the money and was later told by the cashier that the food costs 25 bucks and not 30$ so he gave him 5$ dollars to give to the ladies. Now the waiter realized he could not divide the 5 bucks equal between the ladies so he decided to take 2$ him self and give them 1 dollar each (that equals 5 bucks). [...] [...] Remember my previous entry on 2 equaling 1?
