Comment by Steph S. on May 7, 2013 at 9:58pm: how cool Grinning Cat - thank you.

Comment by Grinning Cat on May 4, 2013 at 10:03pm: I love the proof, the cell cake, and the practical use of thermodynamics!

That proof reminded me of a classic proof that uses algebra to show that 1=2:

Let a = b = 1.

a = b

a² = ab

a² - b² = ab - b²

(a+b)(a-b) = (a-b)b

(a+b)(a-b) = b(a-b)

a+b = b

2 = 1

QED (Quite Easily Done)

Comment by Steph S. on May 2, 2013 at 9:17pm: That is a cake - (see pic below) made into a cell. Very cool. I could teach my students with this cake cell model.
