I once saw a simplified equation that seemed to show that 1=0. It turns out that one step in the solution was division by zero. You just didn't notice because zero was presented as (A-B) or something - I wish I could remember specifics. Anyway, the math notwithstanding, I have a hard time accepting that 98% of 99% is 49%.
