Are you into mathematics? Do you have any cake?
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?

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?

Therefore Jesus was crucified once, twice. I'm surprised none of our resident christers were able to explain it that clearly.

So I see there is one less piece of crucial weirdness in the Bible today . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Maybe there is a cake composed of virtual particles on the first plate, just waiting for a massive input of energy to be actualized ?

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.
