Please provide examples...
I don't think we need examples, just a right mathematical understanding.
Are you adding the wrongs or multiplying them?
No, but three lefts can!
I think so. Like if someone does something wrong, and I punch them. That makes things right.
No, but three lefts can!
Or one wrong and a u-turn?
Given that both my parents are (or were) completely hapless screw-ups, I'd say I'm living proof that two wrongs can, in fact, make a right.*
* Some here may disagree. ;-)
Do we also need to show our work?
I wouldn't, even if I could. :P
Dear Confused Badger,
There are in my opinion very few things or actions which are actually 'wrong' in existence, and the majority of those which are are generally something to do with that up-tight archdevil god, Asmodeus, and his flunkeys.
Many Asmodeus worshipers talk at great length about 'rights'... (Usually their right to rule, to take things, or to punish.)
Hoping that you have found this post Helpful.

Well, you get extra credit if you do.
Dear Mr. Taig,
Is the right or wrong subjective? If so of course!

Let us represent that which is right with a variable X.
Wrong, being the opposite of right, is equal to (-X).
(-X)*(-X)=X^2
Ergo, two wrongs are exponentially better than a right.
QED.
5 points for the attempt, Mr. Celestial Healer.
However, wrongs are only additive, not multiplicative.
Dear Mr. Taig,
Is the right or wrong subjective? If so of course!
Fair enough, if your subjective wrongs can add up to a subjective right.
The problem is when another's subjectivity enters into the equation.
No, but three lefts can!
That's what I was going to say. ;-) It's the only reason I opened this thread.

Absolutely. If you're concerned with more then one subjectivity, then no.

Counter-question: Does it matter whether it can?
Sometimes, proverbs are just useless. Better use your mind to think about things and decide each incident for itself.

Proverbs are only useless for 1. Those who don't know the right one and 2. Know how to use it.

And also the mathematically challenged.

All generalisations are false!
