1. 2=1 problem:

Given:                            a = b
Multiply by a:                   a² = ab
Subtract b²                 a² - b² = ab - b²
Factor:              (a + b)(a - b) = b(a - b)
Jason: [ Wrong! (a-b) is zero, the equation cannot be divided by (a-b) ]
Divide (a - b):             (a + b) = b
Substitute the given:         a + a = a
Simplify:                        2a = a
Divide by a:                      2 = 1

Wilson: [If the manager counts by multiplying " five for two" by twelve, meaning he bought 36 oranges at " three for a dollar" and only 24 oranges at " two for a dollar".]

Jason: [The slope of the bottom triangle is not a straight line.  The trick is on the size of triangles.]
Wilson: [Actually both triangles are not straight, top one is a little convex and the bottom one is a little concave.]
