An Alternative Method of Proving Stuff
While mugging math today in E205, some of our friends came up with an alternative way to prove stuff instead of using induction or proof by contradiction etc. It is very fast and simple if you know what to do. Below is an example, but we hope you exercise caution when using this method. (No, it is not method of difference)
Definition: 会下棋的人简称会棋 (the abbreviation for someone who can play chess is 会棋)
To prove: Jin Xiang 什么都不会, 只会棋.
Normal Proof: Assuming Jin Xiang knows something blah blah blah.
Alternative Proof: It is a well known fact that this is true. (Shown) QED
