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

PWNED!

That's the point...

Now go to 90N and travel west.

smjjames · « **Reply #4 on:** December 17, 2011, 05:35:50 PM »

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

deoxy99 · « **Reply #5 on:** December 17, 2011, 05:36:34 PM »

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

Damn it, ninja'd by smjjames.

And now divide by zero.

ERROR! DOES NOT COMPUTE! *CRASH!*

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

It's infinity, ninja'd again by both Bla and smjjames.

My math teacher says the people who say it's infinity are wrong. $:-\$

smjjames · « **Reply #11 on:** December 17, 2011, 05:49:50 PM »

Infinitely zero then.

Good, so I didn't get ninja'd:

COMPLEX INFINITY FTW!

smjjames · « **Reply #13 on:** December 17, 2011, 05:55:18 PM »

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

deoxy99 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 17, 2011, 05:58:48 PM »

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

add 1 to 1 and get 3
HNNNNG

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

deoxy99 · « **Reply #17 on:** December 17, 2011, 06:29:16 PM »

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

atomic7732 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 17, 2011, 07:29:11 PM »

Ummm no... 0/8 is 0. It's mathematically proven...

smjjames · « **Reply #19 on:** December 17, 2011, 07:38:26 PM »

I already said zero, so there, and lets move on Neu.......

atomic7732 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 17, 2011, 07:51:44 PM »

That was my last challenge.

Bla · « **Reply #21 on:** December 18, 2011, 03:03:37 AM »

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.

Asymptoter is plural.
It means asymptotes.
