This is a list of past revisions of One times one equals two. Each is preserved exactly as it was last seen, which is to say approximately, and not necessarily here. Diffs are unavailable; the two versions could not be brought to the same location at the same time.
cur | prev2026a schoolmistress(talk | contribs). . (2,780 bytes)(+140). . (→ he has the arithmetic backwards and the grievance about right. leaving both)(current)
cur | prev2026NotTheMudGeometer(talk | contribs). . (2,640 bytes)(+80). . (→ YOU HAVE WROTE PAGES AND PAGES TO SAY A SUM IS WRONG. I SAID IT IN ONE LINE AND GOT BLOCKED)
cur | prev2025T. Vogel(talk | contribs). . (2,560 bytes)(+300). . (→ the refutation was three paragraphs and is now one line, because it is one line: if one is the identity then one times one is one by definition and the claim proves that one equals two. the space saved has gone to the quaternions, which is where the interest was all along)
cur | prev2024TheRealMudGeometer(talk | contribs). . (2,260 bytes)(+90). . (FINALY. I HAVE BEEN SAYING IT SINCE EIGHTEEN SIXTY THREE AND NOBODY GIVE ME A PODCAST)
cur | prev2024an editor(talk | contribs). . (2,170 bytes)(+240). . (→ wide circulation again after a podcast. an astrophysicist has replied in public and his phrase is about the material and not about the man, which is the line this page keeps and will go on keeping)
cur | prev2017a reader(talk | contribs). . (1,930 bytes)(+150). . (→ the proof has been posted. it is the square root argument, which assumes the conclusion. saying so is not a discourtesy, it is the only thing anybody can usefully say about a circle)
cur | prev2015an editor(talk | contribs). . (1,780 bytes)(+280). . (→ recording the modern claim as stated, and the reason given for it. i have not put it in quotation marks: the magazine is behind a wall and the versions going round do not agree word for word. a living man's own sentence is not a thing to approximate)
cur | prev1898a schoolmistress(talk | contribs). . (1,500 bytes)(+190). . (→ the objection is not silly and the children raise it every year: if multiplying by one does nothing, why is it there. i have added the answer, which is that doing nothing is what it is for)
cur | prev1897an editor(talk | contribs). . (1,310 bytes)(+230). . (→ noting Indiana, where a bill to settle the value of the circle passed the House and was stopped in the Senate by a mathematician who happened to be in the building. see the doctrinal value of pi)
cur | prev1863the Mud Geometer(talk | contribs). . (1,080 bytes)(+100). . (IF YOU MULTIPLY A THING BY ITS SELF YOU HAVE MORE OF IT. ANY MAN WITH TWO HANDS KNOWS THIS. THE BOOK SAYS YOU HAVE THE SAME AND THE BOOK IS WROTE BY MEN WITH ONE HAND)
cur | prev1854an editor(talk | contribs). . (980 bytes)(+260). . (→ Boole has an algebra in which x squared is x and one and one is one. it is consistent, it is useful, and he has been careful to say which operations he means by the signs, which is the whole of the courtesy)
cur | prev16 October 1843W. R. Hamilton(talk | contribs). . (720 bytes)(+420). . (→ walking to the Academy i have given up the commutative law, since ij is not ji and cannot be made so, and have cut the relation into the bridge for want of paper. i do not say the old multiplication was wrong. i say this is a different one and here is what it costs)
cur | prevc. 300 BCan editor(talk | contribs). . (300 bytes)(+300). . (created page; Euclid has it that the unit is that by virtue of which each of the things that exist is called one. it is not a quantity so much as the thing quantities are counted against, and nothing follows from multiplying it by itself except itself)
Older revisions exist but have not been located. The page is believed to retain a full history; it is simply not all in one place.
