>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 8 06:53:20 2013 No.6143401 That's a good illustration of why division by 0 is undefined. 0/0 does NOT equal 1. Welcome to what...high school math club?

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 8 06:55:49 2013 No.6143406 >>6143401 Why not? 0/0 can be any number, so it can be 1 as well.

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 8 07:02:50 2013 No.6143412 >>6143406 and thus every number can be every other number, this is why dividing by zero isn't healthy.

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 8 07:23:49 2013 No.6143434 >>6143430 Hence the fallacy

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 8 08:26:43 2013 No.6143552 >>6143406 Uh no. Undefined does not equate to any number.

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 8 09:06:11 2013 No.6143582 I don't see anything wrong with OP's math

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 8 10:09:11 2013 No.6143645 >>6143617 I always chortle at threads where people argue whether 0.999 reoccurring = 1 and ones where there is a simple equation and everyone fucked up the order of operations.
