Agreed; and now I see what you're saying.

I was misled because I was using the words "prove" and "verify" as different things, whereas you were using the word "prove" in the sense I was using the word "verify". Frickin' semantics!

I'm probably not using the words correctly in a mathematical sense. I was just trying to explain the problem the way I knew how. I'm taking Finite Math in the Fall, so I should probably brush up on the correct terminology. Oops!
