So, so, we're starting a maths club to help all suffering from any maths related traums/injuries!
Please feel free to post any maths related question here, and I'll try my best to answer them!

How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

[Mukade]

the answer you seek is 7

[RVLiveR]

x=y
x^2=xy
x^2-y^2=xy-y^2
(x+y)(x-y)=y(x-y)
x+y=y
1+1=1

7=((1+1)+(1+1))+((1+1)+1)
7=(1+1)+(1+1)
7=1+1
7=1

Wood chuck only chucks one wood if a wood chuck could chuck wood.

Seems legit lol
I wonder if there is anyone who cant notice the mistake in this proof

1+1=1

7=((1+1)+(1+1))+((1+1)+1)
7=(1+1)+(1+1)
7=1+1
7=1

Wood chuck only chucks one wood if a wood chuck could chuck wood.

Dividing by zero in the first? Not even sure how the second one is a thing

The mistake in this proof is step number 5.
There you divide by (x-y) but x=y, therefore (x-y)=0

Dividing by zero. Tut tut tut

Dividing by zero in the first? Not even sure how the second one is a thing

The second one is a thing because he established that 1+1 = 1

Extending on that:
If we assume that 1+1=1, then 2=1, and therefore (by subtracting 1 from each side) 1=0.

Now:
Barack Obama has no leafy green top, but 1=0, therefore he has 1 leafy green top.
The wavelength of a photon emitted from Obama is (x)nm.
Because 1=0 we can say that
1x=0x
so
1x=0
Adding 585 to both sides
1x+585=585

But since 1=0,
We can show that
585=0 by multiplying both sides by 585.
Therefore:
x=585.

And as such, the photons that radiate from Barack Obama have a wavelength of 585nm, and he therefore appears bright orange.

Obama's waist is ycm wide, and similarly to above, we can show that y=0cm.

Therefore, Obama tapers to a point.

Now that we have shown that he has a leafy green top, is bright orange and that he tapers to a point, I can conclude that Barack Obama is a carrot.

The answer is on the interval 0<x<everything else
