Pi = 3: New Proof Just Dropped!

What we're witnessing here is mathematical blasphemy at its finest. This "proof" starts with a reasonable-looking equation and then proceeds through a series of seemingly valid algebraic steps until—surprise!—it concludes that π = 3.

The hidden error is in taking the square root step. When you have (3-x)² = (π-x)², the correct conclusion is that either 3-x = π-x OR 3-x = -(π-x). The proof conveniently ignores the second possibility, which is where the actual solution lies.

Engineers are nodding approvingly while mathematicians are having seizures. This is the mathematical equivalent of claiming you've invented a perpetual motion machine—technically impossible but somehow still convincing enough to make you double-check.
