Ah, but elliptical reasoning will save us all.

What's x(1), x(2)... x(x)? Assuming it's a functional equation like g(1), g(2)....x^2 = x(1) + x(2) + x(3) ... x(x)
d(x^2) = d(x(1) + x(2) + x(3) ... x(x))
2x = x
2 = 1
I believe he intended an analogous version of this "proof" that 1 = 2.
\(x = \underbrace{1 + 1 + 1 + \ldots + 1}_{x \textrm{ times}} = \underbrace{\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left(x\right) + \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left(x\right) + \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left(x\right) + \ldots + \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left(x\right)}_{x \textrm{ times}} = \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\underbrace{\left(x + x + x + \ldots + x\right)}_{x \textrm{ times}} = \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left(x^2\right) = 2x\)

I like this one. I think the 'problem' lies in defining the function (x+x+...) for x number of times over a continuous interval. (What does it mean to add something pi number of times?). If it can't be defined over a continuous interval, then it isn't differentiable, whereas x^2 is differentiable.

I'm leery of the part after the third equals sign....
Is there a significance to an increasing or decreasing disparity between an average and a median? For instance, suppose the average household income and median household income kept getting farther and farther apart overtime. Does this say something informative?
I'm leery of the part after the third equals sign....
The third equals sign itself is the problem. In particular, we cannot forget to differentiate the "x times" operation with respect to x. In other words, the chain rule is important!
\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} F(u,v) = \frac{\partial}{\partial u} F(u,v) \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} u + \frac{\partial}{\partial v} F(u,v) \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} v\)
That means that the left part is not the same as the right part because \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\underbrace{\left(x + x + x + \ldots + x\right)}_{x \textrm{ times}} = \underbrace{\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left(x\right) + \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left(x\right) + \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left(x\right) + \ldots + \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left(x\right)}_{x \textrm{ times}} + \underbrace{\left(x + x + x + \ldots + x\right)}_{\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left(x\right) \textrm{ times}} = \underbrace{1 + 1 + 1 + \ldots + 1}_{x \textrm{ times}} + \underbrace{\left(x + x + x + \ldots + x\right)}_{1 \textrm{ time}} = x + x = 2x\)
What is the distance from the insphere of a regular tetrahedron to the tetrahedron (not the trivial face contacts)?

Well... everywhere.What is the distance from the insphere of a regular tetrahedron to the tetrahedron (not the trivial face contacts)?
The distance to which part of the tetrahedron? Faces, edges, vertices?
Well, since it's for art...Well... everywhere.The distance to which part of the tetrahedron? Faces, edges, vertices?
How about just the distance from the origin, to an equilateral triangle that is orthogonal to the x-axis, pointed up (y is up for me...). Then a rotation matrix to reach one of the other faces. I'll figure it out from there.
It's for art man. Art! Unless you think easy transforms between Platonic solids are something that can be used for nefarious purposes.
