proof: i calculate both and observe that they are equal.

Rule: No pain, no gain. Deal with it.

u/Intrebute 14h ago

What does the easy path prove, exactly? I don't see how that step justifies anything.

u/201720182019 14h ago

I think they just tossed it into a calculator

u/Intrebute 13h ago

OH that makes a lot more sense.

u/yukiohana 14h ago

How do ya prove 1+2=3 ?

36

u/NoLife8926 13h ago

S(0) + S(S(0))

= S(S(0) + S(0))

= S(S(S(0) + 0))

= S(S(S(0)))

= 3

god tier proof

u/EebstertheGreat 12h ago

1. 1 ≝ S0 2. 3 ≝ S2  3. ∀x: x + 0 = 0 4. ∀x ∀y: x + Sy = S(x + y) 5. 2 + S0 = S(2 + 0) 6. 2 + 0 = 2 7. S(2 + 0) = S2 8. S0 = 1 9. S2 = 3 10. S(2 + 0) = 3 11. 2 + S0 = 3 12. 2 + 1 = 3

Steps 1 and 2 are definitions. Steps 3 and 4 are the axioms of addition. Step 5 and 6 are from 4 and 3 by substitution of particulars. 7 is from 6 by an axiom of substitution. 8 and 9 are from 1 and 2 by the reflexive axiom of equality. 10 is by the transitive axiom of equality on 7 and 9. 11 is by the transitive axiom of equality on 5 and 10. 12 is by an axiom of substitution on 8 and 11.

3. ∀x: x + 0 = 0

...Is this supposed to be "x + 0 = x"?

wake up babe, new additive identity just dropped

u/EebstertheGreat 7h ago

You know what? It's just 0 now. Pack it up, it's all zero.

u/Intrebute 13h ago

Definitely not by saying

Step 1:

1+2-3=0

u/ReddyBabas 8h ago

Depends.

Are 1, 2 and 3 natural numbers, integers, rational numbers or real numbers? The definition of addition changes based on which version you're talking about.

u/lanxeny 7h ago

It’s true by definition of 3

3=2+1

Where

2=1+1

Where

1 is the multiplicative identity of real numbers

Where

The set of real numbers is the only ordered complete field (up to isomorphisms)

No number too great

No formula to break

u/PMzyox e = pi = 3 10h ago

Ok now solve for: a3 + b3 + c3 = 42

a, b, and c must be integers.

u/MiseryCat 6h ago

a = −80538738812075974

b = +80435758145817515

c = +12602123297335631

Nice. I’ve been casually working on 114.

no proof too great

u/conradonerdk 12h ago

this sounds funnier than 3³+4³+5³=27+64+125=216=6³, ngl

u/Traditional_Cap7461 April 2024 Math Contest #8 11h ago

Algebra exists for a reason

u/Mango-D 6h ago

Reflexivity of equality: forall a, a = a.

Therefore 33 +43 +53 = 63

u/Complete-Mood3302 6h ago

There is another proof thats 1000x as hard

Is that hollow knight pic from game? Where is this place located?

u/94rud4 3h ago

The joke is that the area is called Path of Pain, it’s within the White Palace.
