prove that 1 + 1 = 1. use any logic, any method,any algorithm.. (its not a binary addition or logi..

Answer / ganapa

Say a=1 and b=1

Now a*a=a*b

a*a - b*b = a*b - b*b

a^2 - b^2 = b(a-b)

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

a+b = b

1+1 = 1

Answer / rajesh

the above method is true only when the divisor is non zero.
so the problem is absurd.
(a+b)(a-b)=b (a-b)
we can not divide (a-b) on both sides since it is zero
that is why we cannot obtain a+b=b
i hope anyone can understand what i am trying..right??

now we get,
1+1=1

In a kingdom far far away, the King decided that the time has come to find a husband for his princess daughter. The King wanted to find a worthy lad for his princess, so he promised to give his daughter away to the first young (or old) man who would solve the puzzle that has stumped the best of his court mathematicians for years. The puzzle is very simple: in a palace, there are 25 rooms arranged in a square--5 rows of rooms with 5 rooms in each row. In every room there is a light switch which not only switches on/off the light in that room, but also switches the lights in the adjacent rooms--the room to the right, to the left, the room above and the room below. Initially, all of the lights are turned off. The goal is to turn the lights on in every room of the palace.
