Are you into mathematics? Do you have any cake?
|
 Quote:Question 1. You have a plate. There is no cake in that plate. You cut the cake that isn't in that plate into two. What is in your plate now? 0/2 = 0 Everybody answered correct! Yay! Quote:Question 2. You have a plate. There is a cake in that plate. You do absolutely nothing to that cake. What is in your plate now? 2/0 = undefined But everybody answered: 2/0 = 2. Hmm... I wonder why that is. |
