Theorem 9p10ne21fool

Description: 9 + 10 equals 21. This astonishing thesis lives as a meme on the internet, and may be believed by quite some people. At least repeated requests to falsify it are a permanent part of the story. Prof. Loof Lirpa did not rest until he finally came up with a computer verifiable mathematical proof, that only a fool can think so.

Ref Expression
Assertion 9p10ne21fool ( ( 9 + 1 0 ) = 2 1 → 𝐹 ∅ ( 0 · 1 ) )

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 9p10ne21 ( 9 + 1 0 ) ≠ 2 1
2 df-ne ( ( 9 + 1 0 ) ≠ 2 1 ↔ ¬ ( 9 + 1 0 ) = 2 1 )
