Subject: Algebra proof

I once saw an algebra problem that contained a subtle error. Because of the 
error, the problem appeared to prove that one plus one was not two. I teach in 
the County Jail and I wanted to use this problem not only to teach algebra but 
also to show them that what you think is so, isn't necessarily so.

Thank you,
Doug
