So the widespread use of emojis these days kinda makes forum smileys pointless, yeah?

How can 2 = _B_ if 2 = 1?
                       B

What? ...

Every single operation there is mathematically legal except the last.  You can't devide by zero.

2 = B over B
2 = 1

I just thought something was wrong there so I took a stab at it, I see it's solved now, though.

B devided by B = 1.

So, that's how.

In my opinion, it's blatantly obvious. Just substitute b for a, and seeing (blank)/a-b, one would instantly realize its a division by zero error.

As I've reiterated several times already, I think it is obvious too.  However, it is not intuitively obvious.  Algebraically, every single step is legal except the last.  Even then, it's legal until you're able to tie in previous knowledge and recognize that you're dividing by zero.

You might be right about that, Joe.

Just because you're retarded to put that into ROT13, I'm not going to even bother translating.

Just post it normally.  I only recommend using ROT-13 on riddles that aren't mathematically oriented.  It's easy to pull the answer out of there.

Not only is division by zero wrong, it is mathematically illegal.

If A = B then A - B = 0

And you can not divide by zero (Only Feanor can divide by zero).


I see that it has already been solved though :(
