I challenge you to find me a number that is divisible by 12, but not by 2.

No such thing. Anything divisible by 12 is even, and anything even can be divided by 2.

That's the point...

Now go to 90N and travel west.

Go in a circle clockwise around 90N, or spin in place clockwise Smiley

You can't, as 90N is a single point. Or you can keep spinning around the point.

Damn it, ninja'd by smjjames.

ERROR! DOES NOT COMPUTE! *CRASH!*

Thats the funny answer, the real answer is anything divided by zero is zero, or infinity.

My math teacher says the people who say it's infinity are wrong. Undecided

Never heard of the term complex infinity before, and it's still infinity anyway.

Complex Infinity is, according to WolframAlpha:
The complex quantity with infinite magnitude but indeterminate phase.

Try this link with epic algebra to prove the answer is complex infinity no matter what number you divide by zero (except 0/0 which breaks the laws of algebra): http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=x+divided+by+zero

nothing divided in no parts should be zero. Just like nothing divided in many parts.

0 divided by 0 is indeterminate, same with 0 divided by anything other than 0. There, your answer, you impossible to please person.

In math we started on infinitesimal calculus this year, and there we often divide by zero, which gives infinity. And similarly dividing by infinity gives 0.

According to Wikipedia, you can't do it normally, but only in infinitesimal calculus.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_0

Which makes no sense to me logically. Maybe because you just don't want infinites normally.
But logically a number divided by 0 should give infinity, as the smaller the number you divide it by, the greater the number becomes.

Our teacher wrote this example on the blackboard. Dividing by negative zero becomes negative infinity, dividing by zero becomes positive infinity. Kol.

Ask your teacher about infinitesimal calculus.
