Trippy. Large quantities of 2 CAN equal five.

a completely invalid and illogical proof states that
Identity
-20 = -20
Express both sides in slightly different, yet equivalent ways
25-45 = 16-36
factor
5^2-5*9 = 4^2 - 4x9
add to both sides
5^2-5x9+81/4 = 4^2 - 4x9 + 81/4
factor again
(5-9/2)^2 = (4-9/2)^2
root both sides
5-9/2 = 4 - 9/2
cancel common
5=4
separate 4 out
5 = 2+2
heh, find the error :)
