RIDDLE: n + n + .... n times = n^2.

differentiating both sides with n we get

1 + 1 +.... n times = 2*n

or

n = 2*n

find the flaw?


ANSWER: ans. n + n + .....n times we can only add if "n" is an integer. So basically this function is discontinous and we can't differentiate a discontinous function.
