I couldn't follow the graphics that Tony Hanson used, but these types of "proofs" always use a division by zero to make them work, i.e., something divided by 1-1 or a-a or a/a -1, etc. This always gives an invalid answer. They are great for showing your kids that things aren't always what they seem! Kit Kimes !lime!we13!kik
