• No PJ's. The answers must be logically valid. And no stupid answers
• Maths questions are fine. Keep level of puzzles to below 12th (Pre Grads level)
• No Thread crapping unless you are congratulating someone.

Prove how 3 is = 4
Three is equal to four
Theorem: 3=4
Proof:

Suppose:
a + b = c

This can also be written as:
4a - 3a + 4b - 3b = 4c - 3c

After reorganizing:
4a + 4b - 4c = 3a + 3b - 3c

Take the constants out of the brackets:
4 * (a+b-c) = 3 * (a+b-c)

Remove the same term left and right:
4 = 3

that means a+b-c = 0
And thus you cannot cancel on both sides as the expression evaluates to 0 anyway.

You cut 8 you get 3... so cut 18... you get 13?

“There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is having lots to do and not doing it.”

How terrible. Not even a single attempt.

Anyway, use the principle of base. Here is an explanation.
value of 15 is 15 because its base 10.
that is
(10^1)*1+(10^0)*5
(ten raised to 1 is 10 and ten raised to 0 is 1)

So in this case, whenever you see such kind of puzzles its usually a base change problem

So we have at base 18
converting to decimal
(18^1)*1+8 (as 8 remains as such) = 26
Half of that is 13.

Caveat: If someone would have solved this you could have said the answer as 21 which is also logically right as there is no distinguishing method to know if 13 is in decimal or base 18.
