heres a little problem that at a first glance is real:
[tex] \frac{1}{-1} = \frac{-1}{1}[/tex]
so
[tex] \sqrt{\frac{1}{-1}} = \sqrt{\frac{-1}{1}} [/tex]
by splitting it the square root into two parts...
[tex] \frac{i}{1} = \frac{1}{i} [/tex]
and [tex] i^2 = 1 [/tex]
-1 = 1
wonder if there are any more similar "proofs"?
