Driving along a negative direction,

40 mph west instead of east.

I spin around 180,

times (-1)

times nothing, I turned the vehicle to face
west, now I am driving east at 40 mph.

then I spin around 180 again.

times (-1)

Times nothing again,
I turned around and I am back to driving
west again.

Guess what, I am still driving in the negative direction.

equals -40 mph

Still a positive 40 mph in the west direction.

Excellent!

(-40)*(-1)*(-1) = -40

So, you got the above correct.

Now tell us the answer to (-40)*(-1)

Which direction are you driving?

I don't multiply by -1 to change direction.
I turn 180 degrees and I am still doing a positive
40 mph in the new direction.
(no multiplication (of my speed) occuring at all)

Why do you multiply for a change of direction?
How does "change of direction" get turned into
a multiplication at all?
Do you truly think 180 degrees = -1 ?
That is real silly.
I am glad you can make up such imaginary math.
180 = -1..
Great Stuff!

Jim, try this:

Multiplication by positive whole numbers amounts to repeated addition,
as shown:
20 x 5 = 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 100
35 x 2 = 35 + 35 = 70
21 x 2 = 21 + 21 = 42
-2 x 2 = -2 + -2 = -4, don't you agree?

Ben

Consider that you are trying to encourage agreement from someone whose
sole purpose in life at the moment is to DISAGREE with you, no matter
what you say and no matter what he has to say to disagree. He's
perfectly happy to say something that any 3rd grade student would
laugh at, as long as it is the opposite of what you say. He will say
that this is because he has an open mind and can think more logically
that you and your relativity nonsense, even as the 3rd grader is
laughing.

Henri Wilson has the same attitude and is enabled in this endeavor by
a complete lack of self-respect and imperviousness to embarrassment.
