one of my friend pointed this out. admittedly it confuses the heck out of me.

2 * 2 = 2+2;
2 * 3 = 2+2+2;
2 * 4 = 2+2+2+2;
...
x * x = x+x+x+....+x+x (x number of times)

x * x =x^2
therefore,
x^2=x+x+x+x+...+x+x (x number of times)
differentiate,
d/dx(x^2)=2x
d/dx(x+x+x+...+x+x)=1+1+1+1+...+1+1+1 (x number of times)
which equals to x

therefore,
2x=x,
2=1

why not like this??

2 * 2 = 2+2;
2 * 3 = 2+2+2;
2 * 4 = 2+2+2+2;
...
x * y = x+x+x+....+x+x (y number of times)
