I made this thread for people who have problems and don't know what to do. I know almost everything about anything so go ahead and ask me. My advice is worth it's weight in gold.

What's Pi divided by Zero? I've been trying to figure this out my entire life..

Given the following program: what is the result of calling f with itself as an argument?

MadCamel, first of all you we need to understand what Pi is and where it came from.

Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to it's diameter (or so the people think). I will tell you the truth, Pi was actually discovered by the greeks and it wasn't Pi it was Pee (ee is pronounced i in english). This number was the furthest distance an olympian could actually pee (3.14 meters). They got drunk and peed and the longest distance was the winner. Archimedes was the man who could pee at a distance of 3.14 meters so this number was acredited to him.

The second thing is the division by zero, many say you can't divide numbers by zero but they don't know s*it about mathematics. The number zero is like air, you don't see it, can't imagine it but you know for sure it's there. So anything can be divided by zero it's just that no computer can find the god damn answer so inteligent mathematicians came up with a variable which signifies the result of a division by zero, that variable is "?".

So, for example:

12/0=? which means that "? x 0 = 12"

Therefore:

Pi/0 = ?

in mathematics ? can take any value between (-∞;+∞)

You're welcome.

Good question but easy.

First of all I would like to say I have a PhD in Broscience and work as a professor at the Bro's University. You are probably refering of the infinite loop...which doesn't exist.
Most people don't get it but infinite doesn't exist, it is actually a finite number and I am going to prove it in my next thesis. Every day I get up and start counting until i reach infinite, each night I write down the number I have reached all day counting and resume from there the next day.
Computers are too stupid to do that and frankly nobody left a program running long enough for it to reach infinite.
At some point in time your procedure will eventualy halt, it's obvious.

If I melt dry ice, can I swim without getting wet?

Excelent question. I remember studying about this phenomenon in my younger days with 3 other world renown ice experts. It was me, prof. Vanilla Ice, prof. Ice Cube and prof. Ice-T (I think they started a music career after finishing the scientific research).

For our research, we used dr.Dre's meth lab which was available at the time because he was attending 2Pac's funeral. We first experimented on regular ice, which we melted and obtained regular water (H2O). After that we tried melting wet ice and we ended up with what seemed to be wet water (sqr(H2O)).
In the end we also melted dry ice and got dry water (sqrt(H2O)) which we used to fill a pool and swim in without getting wet.

After this experiment we concluded that dry water was the most common form of water found in desert areas, you can swim in it without getting wet and you can drink it but you'll still be thirsty after.

So the answer is yes, you won't get wet.

MrWho is wrong,.: this is because he forgot that water (sqrt(H2O)) is water(|H|*sqrt(O)), |H| is the positive partof H, thus melting dry ice leads top wet H2O. So the only way to bath in dry Ice is to dive into an ice cube, which obviously lead to mechanical issues, either because of cubes dimensions or skull resistance. The only solution I can find is to over heat the water into dry vapor which is the solution to the problem. and you can bathe in to dry water and swim if you want.

Nard, I don't know what you are talking about there but you clearly have no idea of math, physics or quantum mechanics.

You can't calculate the square root of an element like that because you have to take into consideration the second law of thermodynamics.

I would also recommend you take a look at the new theory of relativity (not Einstein's). Matter of fact I will write it down for you: E= MC HAMMER and thus YOU CAN'T TOUCH THIS.

Your science skills failed.

addendum: dry H2O bath is called a sauna

solve this for me and make me rich

An African or European swallow?
