Okay, so I find it easier to think like this.

1/.1 is 10.
1/.01 is 100.
1/.001 is 1000.

Do you see where I'm going? The closer you get to zero, the bigger the number. So...

1/0 is infinity.

Don't think of it as "1 goes into 0", but "1 over 0". Think of it like a mixed number, such as 2/1.

0/0 is infinity over infinity; making it undefined.

So we know that 0 is equal to infinity. Therefore, it's undefined, because you can't divide by infinity. I is genius. ^^ Now prove my outdated, 1980's era knowledge wrong with your mathematical reasoning and new research. Very Happy

Have you seen the Encyclopaedia Dramatica article on this? Seira showed it to me; it's pretty funny. "I divided by zero! OH SH--" *world explodes* Very Happy

Actually I was just bored and was thinking about one of Pommie's previous avatars, the "dividing by zero--wear protective clothing at all time" or something. ^^
