The #1 most popular question on MO is "Examples of common false beliefs in mathematics".

 - The #8 most popular answer is "[if a set is open, then it is not closed][1]".

 - The #4 most popular answer is "[1 + the product of the first n prime numbers is always prime][2]".

- The #2 most popular answer is "[the trace of a product of any number of matrices is independent of their order][3]"

[Here][4] are verifications that these are indeed false beliefs. :)
