I know 2 equals one. I also know 1 equals zero:
x^2 + 2x + 1 = 0
divide by x^2 + 2x + 1 and get:
1 = 0
Thus, if 1 equals 0 and 2 equals 1, then 2 must also equal 0!

No, this is 0 divided by something. Which is still 0. So, technically it's completely OK according to the rules of mathematics, but we still get a wacky result!

Level 23 of the Stranger Riddle, I presume.
Who wants to prove that 3 equals 2, so we can say that 3 equals any value from 0 to 2?

since we've already proven 2 equals 1 just add 1 to each side.
I meant not pron, but apparently I was wrong about that.
They should change the header on that thing to make it plural though.

Well, is it the leaning tower of Pisa?
I'll give a reason if I'm right.

You must give reason before I will tell you if its right or wrong
You could be just guessing and then you'd make up a method after I say its right

I'll think about it. Does it have something to do with letters from the word above being in the word below?

It has something to do with the letters in general
