@AndrewT

0/0 and infinity / 0 and infinity / infinity are all indeterminate, so yes, they can equal whatever you want, technically. That is why they are indeterminate.

They can't equal "whatever you want." If you take a limit and it results in an indeterminate form such as those above, then it can theoretically take any value depending on the context. But that doesn't mean you're free to say

0/0 = 412

or

0/0 = π

Until you give it a specific context, i.e. lim x→0 (x/x), it is not defined. And whatever the case, it certainly isn't for the reason that TheComet suggested...

You guys already posted this, but:

1/3 = 0.33333...

3/3 = 0.999999...

3/3 = 1

1 = 0.99999...

Graph 0.999... and 1 on a number line. Let me know when the lines meet

If you are placing them on a number line, then they are points, and they are in the same spot.

@Teh Stone
No 0.999... recurring IS 1. Look it up anywhere. There are hundreds of proofs. It is not very close to 1, it IS 1. We've even had threads on this forum about it.

[b]What would work? An unstoppable bullet or an impenetrable wall?
Anwser: The unstoppable bullet, for the wall to be impenetrable, then it would need a mass of ∞ (Infinity) in order to be inpenetrable, but there is only a limited ammount of matter in the cosmos, and construction of the wall would be impossible.

But surely no bullet could be totally unstoppable, either.

Both, if you never fire the bullet at the wall.

the wall would just be pushed over as the force would break whatever was supporting it, unless everything in the universe is penetrable and indestructible in which case the bullet would just ricochet.

What would happen if the Unstoppable Force hit the Immovable Object?

Just coded this up in DBP but should work in DBC. Bonus points if you figure out where I got the puzzle from along with solving it.

PUZZLE CODE:


It is quiet easy once you figure it out, just guessing at it is a sissy way to go at it.

It's amazing how many people get this wrong.

10 + 10 x 0 =
a. 0
b. 10
c. 20

BIDMAS!
Multiplication before addition so it can be rewritten as:
10+(10×0) = 10+0 = 10

... um im lost... 0 = 0... zero is used as a placeholder.

Anyway one more. If a cat always lands on its feet and toast always lands butter side down, then what would happen if you dropped a cat from a 2 story building with a piece of toast grafted to its back (butter side up)?

Heres a hint:

No the cat doesnt die and yes the toast is delicious.

From 2 stories the cat probably would land on its back, statistically cats survive from higher falls (4 stories plus) because they have the time to orient themselves for a safe landing (a cats terminal velocity is non-lethal)
