Math

If a+b=c is true, then c-b=a and c-a=b.

But...

a+c=b is false.
b+c=a is false.
b-c=a is false.
a-c=b is false.

  1. For one true statement there are 2 true answers. But, there are 4 incorrect answers. If I took that equation and did stuff like -1/2 from all variables I could get an infinite number of false answers and also an infinite number of true answers. There would be more false infinite answers than true infinite answers, though.

  2. So even an infinite truth is still a minority in infinite falses.
