The mathematical equivalent of saying "I'm not lost, I just took a creative route home." This proof starts with a legitimate equation (0 = -i - 1 + i + 1), then makes a bizarre leap to express it as i³ + i² + i¹ + i⁰. Then comes the punchline—writing this in base i as "iiii" and claiming it equals "iv" (4) in Roman numerals. It's like watching someone parallel park by driving through three backyards and a swimming pool. Mathematicians are currently rocking back and forth in fetal position somewhere.
