no it's 10No its 111 + 1 = 10. Everyone knows that.Math is confusing. But that statement implies all math is confusing. Thus 1 + 1 is confusing.1 + 1 is PI. What don’t you understand about that?
1+1=10
1+10=11
1+11=100
100+11+1=1000
And all the world over, each nation's the same,
They've simply no notion of playing the game.
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won,
And they practice beforehand, which ruins the fun!

New paradox: if someone is insane they must be sane because they are IN saneThat's not a paradox, that's just misunderstanding the word “insane”

FIND THE ERROR:
x = 1
x^2 = x
x^2 - 1 = x - 1
(x - 1) (x + 1) = x - 1
x + 1 = 1
x = 0
This isn't a true paradox, and there's clearly something wrong in the math, so find it. (Hint: it's something division-related…)
I found this somewhere.
x = 1
x^2 = x
x^2 - 1 = x - 1
(x - 1) (x + 1) = x - 1
x + 1 = 1
x = 0

FIND THE ERROR:If x = 1, then x - 1 = 0. You're dividing both sides by 0.
x = 1
x^2 = x
x^2 - 1 = x - 1
(x - 1) (x + 1) = x - 1
x + 1 = 1
x = 0

Flammable inflammableflammable is correct
inflammable sounds like it can't catch on fire but it means the opposite
uninflammable
