Are you into mathematics? Do you have any cake?
#32
RE: Are you into mathematics? Do you have any cake?
Your problem is that you've not properly analogized mathematical concepts to the real world. If you have a cake, and "don't do anything with it", that's not analogous to dividing by zero, that's analogous to dividing by 1. That is, you had 1 cake... and you "cut it into one piece." That's... 1/1 = 1.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.
