Hardy is also the man who, on explaining the "ex falso quodlibet" principle 
(from a falsity, you may deduce anything), was challenged to prove that Mr. 
Whatsisname was the Pope, given the premiss that 2+2=5. He proceeded to do 
it in the following way :
"From 2+2=5, substract 2 from both members. You get 2=3.
Now, Mr. Whatsisname, the Pope and Yours Truly are three people, hence two 
(because 2=3). Since I'm not the Pope, Mr. Whatsisname is."
