broker fees? lol Here's one for you... Proof that 1 + 1 = 1 1) x = y let x = y 2) x^2=xy mutliply both sides 3) x^2 - y^2 = xy - y^2 substract y^2 from both sides 4) (x+y)(x-y)=y(x-y) factor 5) (x+y)(x-y)/(x-y) = y(x-y)/(x-y) divide both sides by (x-y) 6) x+y=y simplifiy 7) y+y=y substitute y = x 8) y(1+1)/y = y(1)/y factor and divide by y 9) 1+1 = 1 simplify! Voila!
