There is a saying that goes, "Two wrongs don't make a right." In other words, a wrong cannot be undone with another wrong. The saying also has a comedic extension: "... but three lefts do."
Imagine walking down a sidewalk and suddenly you are unable to turn right. You could accomplish the same shift in direction using three lefts.
Three lefts make a right.
The saying is 2 lefts don't make a right. 3 rights do not make a left.
3 Lefts in a Right?
Two wrongs don't make a right...but 3 rights make a left!
Inexact. It is like a double negative that turns into a positive, or like the old saying that "Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do."
