Which by AL standard is not two, since the gang battles points are awarded very screwy

add the bed, subtract the clothes, divide the legs and multiply

mathematically, not always.

It can be 2, 0, or -2. Depends what the values are to begin with. LOL

Actually I wasn't kidding.

In any base > 2, 1+1=2 [ exception base 2 where 1+1=10 ]

In any modulo n, where n>2, 1+1=2 [exception modulo 2 where 1+1=0]


I hope my memory doesn't play tricks on me, it's been quite some years since highschool.

this is the version I remember from high school (the '2' next to the X means squared):

x = y
-x2= -xy
x2 - y2 = x2 - xy
(x + y)(x - y) = x(x - y)
x + y = x
1 + 1 =2
2 = 1
