Religion...in case you forgot, oh math whiz, claims 1+1+1 = 1.
Work that out on your blackboard and get back to us.
Someone hasn't heard of Boolean algebra--where 1+1=1. Thus (1+1)+1 = 1+(1+1) (since + is associative in a Boolean algebra) = 1+1 = 1.
But hey, you took math in high school, so you probably know a lot about it.
