Theorem 9p10ne21

Description: 9 + 10 is not equal to 21. This disproves a popular meme which asserts that 9 + 10 does equal 21. See https://www.quora.com/Can-someone-try-to-prove-to-me-that-9+10-21 for attempts to prove that 9 + 10 = 21, and see https://tinyurl.com/9p10e21 for the history of the 9 + 10 = 21 meme.
