$ fortune | cowsay ________________________________________ / Proof techniques #2: Proof by Oddity. \ | | | SAMPLE: To prove that horses have an | | infinite number of legs. (1) Horses | | have an even number of legs. (2) They | | have two legs in back and fore legs in | | front. (3) This makes a total of six | | legs, which certainly is an odd number | | of | | | | legs for a horse. (4) But the only | | number that is both odd and even is | | infinity. (5) Therefore, horses must | | have an infinite number of legs. | | | | Topics is be covered in future issues | | include proof by: | | | | Intimidation | | | | Gesticulation (handwaving) | | | | "Try it; it works" | | | | Constipation (I was just sitting there | | and ...) | | | | Blatant assertion | | | | Changing all the 2's to _n's | | | | Mutual consent | | | | Lack of a counterexample, and | | | \ "It stands to reason" / ---------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
