I think nobody point to these interesting false proof:
Let $i=\sqrt{-1}$ be the complex number.
$1)$ $1=\sqrt{-1\times-1}=\sqrt{-1}\times\sqrt{-1}=i\times i=-1$.
$2)$ We know that $x^\frac{2}{6}=x^\frac{1}{3}\Rightarrow (\sqrt{x^2})^\frac{1}{6}=(\sqrt{x})^\frac{1}{3}$. Now, let $x=-1$ and so we have: $$(\sqrt{(-1)^2})^\frac{1}{6}=(\sqrt{-1})^\frac{1}{3}\Rightarrow1=-1.$$
