How in the hell... ?

This 25-second video proves scientifically that 24 = 25 and that chocolate can solve all problems.

Here at The Houdini File, the laws of the universe are suspended until further notice.

Once you've gotten your brain around the chocolate mystery, try this (You don't have to be a math buff - just remember from algebra that if you have an equation you have to do the same thing to both sides):

Take the identity:  
5 squared - 9(5) = 4 squared - 9(4)

Add (9/2) squared to both sides: 
5 squared - 9(5) + (9/2) squared =
4 squared - 9(4) + (9/2) squared

Factor: 
(5 - 9/2) squared = (4-9/2) squared

Take Square Roots:
5 - 9/2 = 4 - 9/2

Add 9/2 to both sides: 
5 = 4



(The Houdini File can pierce math mysteries, but still can't figure out how to do superscripts.)
