| How about when 1x + 1x + 1x = 1y, where x=1 and y=3????
These variants could be anything in which something is three times larger than the other. |

| That was clever, I didn't think of labels, I was trying to figure out if it was one of those tricks where you mess around with how toothpicks make shapes. Way off!  |

| I thought, 1 and 1 and 1 only equals 1. Yet another prime example of nerfhead logic! |

| ...or 1 teaspoon + 1 tespoon + 1 teaspoon = 1 tablespoon. Or 1 pig + 1 pig + 1 pig = 1 story of the 3 little pigs. |
