If you divide a pie by 4, you have 4 pieces. If you divide your pie by 2, you have two pieces to distribute.
If you divide it by zero, you haven't divided it at all, so you get to eat the whole dang pie.
I see nothing wrong with that.
LOL ... now that is funny.
(1 / 4) * 4 = 1 (1 / 3) * 3 = 1 (1 / 2) * 2 = 1 (1 / 1) * 1 = 1 (1 / 0.5) * 0.5 = 1 (1 / 0.25) * 0.25 = 1 (1 / 0.00001) * 0.00001 = 1 (1 / 0) * 0 = 1 --- Ooops?! Multiplying by zero gives a non-zero answer!
If dividing a pie by 2 gives two pieces, then dividing by 0.5 gives what? Oh - now we have two pies - we have ended world hunger. Just divide all the food we have by a half and we double the amount of food!
