Problem
Find a set [math]\displaystyle{ S }[/math] of two elements that satisfies the following:
- [math]\displaystyle{ S }[/math] satisfies all the properties of the field except distributivity.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \exists x \in S, 0x \neq 0 }[/math].
Solution:
Let [math]\displaystyle{ a \in S }[/math] be the additive identity and [math]\displaystyle{ b \in S }[/math] be the multiplicative identity where [math]\displaystyle{ a \neq b }[/math].
