Dreamchaser Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 Can 1=0 i have seen it on here before but how??? Quote
rockytriton Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 I think you are thinking of 0.999... = 1. Also, maybe 1 = 0 for extremely small quantities of 1. :) Quote
DietAnthrax Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 1 = 0 in the limit as 1 tends to zero. One zero is zero. int 1 = 0;printf("%d", 1); If you look closely, you might be able to see a 0 in 0ne. etc. Quote
Qfwfq Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 DietAnthrax, is that 1 or l in your C code? Or is it some odd language that will allow you to use 1 as a variable name? Quote
Qfwfq Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Can 1=0 i have seen it on here before but how???Why not look through the older threads? Quote
C1ay Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Can 1=0 i have seen it on here before but how???By algebraically allowing division by zero. One can prove 1=2 by the same method. It's just erroneous math. Quote

Turtle Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 A. It can be whatever you want it to be.B. Non-standard libraries. Take your pick. I pick "i" as in "illucid". No need to look closely to see it. :) Quote

It's not a matter of the libraries, it's the language parser, which won't allow an identifier to start with anything but an alpha character or _. :) Quote
Garak Posted October 15, 2005 Report Posted October 15, 2005 Can 1=0 i have seen it on here before but how??? It's rubbish. That's what it is. It works out to the same crap that some fool on an MSN Group spouted to me about 0 being equal to infinity. I felt like being troublesome and went into one of those fringe science forums and decided to demolish some idiot who came up with a "Free Energy from the Ether" theory. His mathematical proof was based upon 1=0 and 0 equal to infinity, which can only happen when one confuses numbers with limits. Of course, if that were the case, just about all of mathematics goes out the window and you can "prove" any bizarre theory of physics. After all, when you can use 1=0 and 0 equals infinity to define any number as having a totally variable value, you can do what you want, right? Quote

If you look closely at my original post, you might be able to work out that it was a joke. Quote

learnin to learn Posted October 29, 2005 Report Posted October 29, 2005 I gotta question can 2+2=5 :) or what about 2/2=0 :) Quote
insight Posted October 29, 2005 Report Posted October 29, 2005 I gotta question can 2+2=5 :) or what about 2/2=0 :) i can't find "Delete" :) Quote
insight Posted October 29, 2005 Report Posted October 29, 2005 I gotta question can 2+2=5 :) or what about 2/2=0 :) Since this is a mathematical room, the answer is "No". :) Quote
insight Posted October 29, 2005 Report Posted October 29, 2005 I gotta question can 2+2=5 :) or what about 2/2=0 :) Again :) :) Quote
learnin to learn Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 :eek: now everyone knows 6+6=36 or is it 6x6=12?:) i am so confused:shrug: :) Quote
