So, for all you mathematical stars, here is what he presented us with:

Can you prove that 2 = 1?

Assume that x = y

It follows that x – y = 0

And that 2x – 2y = 0

Therfore, x – y = 2x – 2y.

Now, another way of writing 2x – 2y, as any mathematician will agree, is 2(x – y)

And another way of writing x – y is 1(x – y)

So…1(x – y) = 2(x – y)

Divide each side of the equation by (x – y) and you are left with…..1 = 2

Now you can go and scratch your heads as I did many years ago.
