I'm a bit confused with this at the moment.

I guess this should be false. There are only few loopholes in mathematics. Basically my mind says this is impossible.

Can anybody try this to see whether this is true or false?

Could be something like this?. :D
Problem arises when (a^2-ab) is cancelled off from both sides without considering the possibility of a^2-ab=0.

second one is mathematically wrong. cannot remove (B - C- A) because it is equivalent to zero. so we cant remove that from both sides (to remove by divide the term should not be zero. divide by 0 is not defined in maths)

first one is a visual fake. try it.....
you can't see it on the video because of the line width of squares........
:yahoo:

There is a proof in complex numbers that shows 1 = 2 due to a little false step which is generally considered correct ;)

As someone stated, those are just confusing our minds.

Lots of such things are here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_fallacy
