lol, divide by zero error

lol loved the music xD

i love that divide by zero error nobdy gets it

uh oh :(

Good use of music from the Wrath of Khan.

zzzzzomg

tile that bitch!

an oldie but a goodie

omfg you broke teh mathematics!!11!

MATH LOSE. GOOD DAY SIR.

a-b = 0. Retarded math.

yuo broke my math

haha its not divide by zero its divide zero by zero. Much worse

Dividing by zero ftw

Going from a+b=b to a+a=a makes no sense

i can't believe you lames are actually pointing out the error

Adverb, remember that a=b, so you can change a to b and vice versa in the equation whenever you'd like.

lol nerds.

"Going from a+b=b to a+a=a makes no sense" Actually that was one of the things that DID make sense and worked.

A IS ZERO

duirhhhhh

Too bad your mathematical skills suck.

none of this math made sense. but lets all have a math arguement on ytmnd. that makes sense.

omg u broke math!

it should end on the 4th line because it would be 0=0

a=b=0 and that's all there is to it. Although it is quite interesting the way you worked it out.

i might 5 if...NESer has multiple accounts, please inform Max

omg rupture in the fabric of space-time. oh wait!

clever

But thats wrong, I don't get it.

math FTW

So did you hear about that mathematics party....?

wow this is gay

"a=b=0 and that's all there is to it"--actually you are supposed to assume A and B both equal 1 i read how to do this in a book about zero

the letter a knows where it is, because it knows where b isn't. If a was to know where it was, instead of where it wasn't it wouldn't be where it was, instead of where it is. Because 0 couldn't what it is or isn't, b instead takes it's place, because of what it couldn't, or shouldn't be.

Indeed, = 1.

1'd for math

lol, Darktree.

Fail. (Math is delicious).

I can't find x

ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING 1'S ON MY SITES.. I WAS REALLY GETTING 2'S SWEET JESUS I'M THE BEST ON THE INTERNETS!!!!!!!11TWO*!!1

THANKS YALL FOR POINTING OUT THE JOEK UR ALL SO SAMRT

MISSENG TEH JOEK FOR TW

defies logic and unfunny

Im Upvoting to COunter the big bunch of 1's up there ^

well yeah, a=b=0 as people said. but if the rules for this are that you should assume values of 1, then it ends at (a-b) because that's 0 making the whole statement 0. also, i'm a complete nerd for saying that.

This sucks go join a suicidal cult

it's a simple Divide By Zero. it doesn't matter what a or b is... a=b, therefore a-b = a-a = 0, therefore you cannot divide both sides by (a-b).

" i'm a complete nerd for saying that." Don't flatter yourself, you're stupid as hell.

You suck at maths.

hax

if a=b=0 then of course 2a=a because its all zero but if a=b=(any positive number) then the statement is true and false at the same time. it is common sense that 2 doesnt equal 1 but every step in the equation is justified

E=MC Hammer

Substitution property of multiplication...wonderful, simply wonderful!

Congrats, you almost pass the 5th grade. Now do some REAL derivations~

Is this funny?

Divide by zero!

actually it's because of the -b^2 that was added to both sides. without that this equasion would balance out just fine.

" " i'm a complete nerd for saying that." Don't flatter yourself, you're stupid as hell." Damn good quote.

If a = b, then (a+b)(a-b) is 2a*0. (a-b) = 0. 0=0??? OMG

yay, math sucks

a math problem gone wrong!

Math jokes are hilarity. ^^

"derive" where are the derivitives?

i think i saw this shiat in firt grade... my teacher was a f*g

lol, nerds

Given I don't give a sh*t = 1

*cough*dadd.ytmnd.com*cough*

5d purely for the title.

Okay, someone sucks at math.

wow teh leet f*got 11

I wonder how many of you actually spotted the error, and how many just followed the first people to mention it? 4'd for the music

4'd mainly because of the amusing comments that ensued

I think they're missing out the square root of the negative number

Ugh, math humor.

To get a value for 2a=a you would need to know the value of a, thus making the whole equation redundant. 2a=a is the final step, there is no way you can get to 2=1 from there.

LOL MATH HUMOR. I loved the music. Dividing by zero ftw.

I love that equation, one of the few I have memorized. ^_^

The error is in the 4th->5th line transition. Since A=B, (A-B)=0. When you divide each side by (A-B) to get (A+B)=B, you're actually dividing by zero. Hence, the error.

5'd because I have a learning disability when it comes to math (have trouble understanding a lot of the concepts- has to rely on rote memory) so it was like watching David Blaine

must mean that a = 0

Divide by 0 FTW.

... Reading the comments to this site has made me lose faith in humanity. Or at least math teachers. Damn you, lousy educational system.

Adverb, I swear to god you are the dumbest moron to ever step foot on the internet. GTFO

Eh.. I hate math. :)

If a=2 and b=1, then a does not equal b from the start. This fails horribly, sorry.

-4 for dividing by zero.

phew... worried me... i thought the math was fail... undefined!

Math :o

stupid

People like you who think they are following math rules obviously don't put a thought into them. If math told you to kill your mom, would you? Don't divide by zero you noob.

Skorpius: "If a=2 and b=1, then a does not equal b from the start. This fails horribly, sorry." Are you serious? I'm going to hope that you're not in high school. I'm also going to raise that, and hope that you're not in middle school. The assumption from the onset is a=b. if a=2 and b=1, does a=b? No. So none of the rest follows. As many have pointed out, the error comes from division by zero. If you assume that a=b, then when you subtract b^2 from both sides, you're zeroing out the equation.GG Educatio

OMG, MATH GOT PWNED AGAIN!

sigh, it just means they equal 0. The universe isn't collapsing.

lol, divide by zero. Annnnnnd, bad title. Do not drink and derive? I see no derivatives.

math is never funny....

nooooooooooooooooooooo!!1!!11!!one

"To get a value for 2a=a you would need to know the value of a, thus making the whole equation redundant. 2a=a is the final step, there is no way you can get to 2=1 from there." Divide by a. As for "divide by zero error", there's no need to even go that far. (a+b)(a-a) = b(a-b) (a+b)(0) = b(0) 0 = 0

SVTBert. Yes. Well done. Kudos. Though, you do have to go that far to see the error in the argumentation. As I noted before, you're zeroing the equation. Thus losing all information. But the error that yields 2=1 as a conclusion is division by zero. Without it, you don't get the erroneous result.

Implicit division by zero. Given a = b, (a - b) is actually 0, and line 5 implicitly divides by that. Troll more noob.

5'd for smart...O SHI-

GG idiots picking on the title, the word "derive" was used for many things before Newtonian Calculus. You "derive" many things in math that have nothing to do with rates of change.

No dividing by zero >_

fail

Dividing by zero makes the whole world spin out of control. -CSM

lazy math right there

I liked the error the best.

God you win

math is for Indians and bull dykes

Reminds me of an old LUE fad. Also, math.

MY HEAD

wrong.. but i do like math jokes =)

If 2=1, then 1+1=6. Since we're setting our own rules for math now..

you guys are all retarded

I DIVIDED BY ZERO, OH SHI-

u fail at the end there

5 for sweet music. these math ones are funny as long as retards dont take it serious
