Abstract
In this article, we discuss the classic proof that girls are evil. The author will briefly discuss the origins of the problem and review the classic proof. The author then indicates a mathematical flaw in the argument, invalidating the statement. The article concludes with a revised and corrected statement of the result.
I. Introduction
I recently received an email discussing the differences between men and women from various mathematical and engineering points-of-view. Most of it was extremely funny, and sooner or later all shall certainly appear within the mathematico-humorist community, properly researched, and appended with standard references in the literature.
However, one portion of the email included a mathematical "proof" of the fact that girls are evil. This proof is doubtless familiar to many readers, having circulated a few times in mathematicians' inboxes. However, for those readers unfamiliar with this well-known proof, we present it now.
II. Statement and classical proof of result
Theorem. Girls are evil.
Proof. It is axiomic in all cultures that girls require both time and money, and any man with either a deficiency in available "quality time" or "disposable income" knows that this a joint-proportion, whence
Similarly, it is has been proved that "time is money" [1], whence
Substitution yields
We also know that "money is the root of all evil" [2], whence
Substituting again yields
Squaring on the right-hand side of the equation yields
establishing the result. Q.E.D.
