San Francisco – Mathematicians from the Equations Program of False Profit,
LLC recently announced plans to disprove a widely-accepted arithmetical
operation: Division.
“We’ve been seduced by the simple allure of division,†said Bex Hurwitz, a
senior Computational Adjuster, at False Profit, LLC. “We were taught long
division in grade school as though it were fact. We were—to put it
mildly—led astray.â€
The theory of division states that a number gets smaller the more it is
divided. In economics, a ‘dividend’ is the amount of an asset each
shareholder receives. According to the theory of division, the dividend a
shareholder receives should get smaller as the number of shareholders
increases. False Profit, LLC intends to prove otherwise.
They invite all shareholders to the Poleng Lounge this Thursday, where the
Dividend will actually increase as the number of shareholders increases.
