1 (-1+1) (-1+1) ...
turns into:
1*0*0*0....
So in the end 0 = 0

Very good altho dividing by zero (last step) is not permitted and (as
per the below) causes an issue if permitted.
How about this:
(1-1) + (1-1) + (1-1) + ... = 0
Re-write left hand side by moving brackets one place to the right:
1 (-1+1) (-1+1) ...
Or simplified:
1 + 0 + 0 + ... = 1
So 1 = 0 !
neil
PS Glad to see I managed to get the list talking about stuff other than
IT/Windows/AD/Exch/Jet/ESE...

a = x [true for some a's and x's]
a+a = a+x [add a to both sides]
2a = a+x [a+a = 2a]
2a-2x = a+x-2x [subtract 2x from both sides]
2(a-x) = a+x-2x [2a-2x = 2(a-x)]
2(a-x) = a-x [x-2x = -x]
2 = 1 [divide both sides by a-x]

Careful, I recall a math professor in my differential equations class or
maybe it was higher throwing a proof up on the board showing that 1 + 1
!= 2 and it wasn't a numberical base trick....
I didn't follow through it, I just closed my eyes and shook my head and
thought forward to my communications class as the sights were easier on
the eyes...
I still wonder why I went into a field with such a high ratio of men to
women... :)
