Who here has been struck by lightning?

Is your glass half full or half empty... The way i see it is, if Retief Goosen has been hit by lightning twice and is still traveling the world playing golf. I would say he is a VERY LUCKY MAN

Here's one for you algebra fans. Spot what goes wrong here as I attempt to prove that one is in fact the same thing as two.

Let a = b

Then you could say that.....

a² = ab

a²  + a² = a² + ab (adding a² to both sides)

2a² = a² + ab

2a² - 2ab = a² + ab - 2ab   (subtracting 2ab from both sides)

2a² - 2ab = a² - ab

which can be written as...

2(a² - ab) = 1(a² - ab)

cancelling out the (a² - ab) leaves us with....

1 = 2

So think twice next time you think you're getting the right pot odds to make a call

You might need to find your own algebra fans Tank. I fear your mathematical malarky may be wasted on us...

Basically you divide through by 0 which is why it's impossible.

Look at it this way....

0 = (A)(0) for any value of A -> 0/0 = A

because if you divide 0 by 0 you can get anything in other words, 0/0 is said to be 'undefined'.

This is what you have what you have:

[(a^2) - ab] / [(a^2) - ab] = 0/0

Oh God, now you've set him off!!!!

Now explain how you managed to waste hours on the old P4C maths quiz one night, when it only was a 2 minute problem.... LMAO

[Ginger]

Oh yes, and I forgot to add...... YOU STILL GOT IT WRONG!!!!!!

Well done on spotting it, but that was an easy one.



For the harder ones look here.
