So, watch this:

If I divide two apples into six segments, I can then recombine them into three new apples.

Therefore, 12/2 = 3.

QED.


WHERE'S YOUR LOGIC NOW, MOTHERFUCKER!?

You have 3 groups of 2.

so 12/2/2= 3

:lulz:

You'll be pleased to know that made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.

I got about half way down the page and noticed faint wisps of smoke coming out my ears. Is this something I should be worried about?  :eek:

This is why I stick to mathematics on finite or countably infinite sets.  The set of "real numbers" is anything but.  Seriously, transcendental numbers?  WTF?

Math in general is completely fucked. Games and surreal numbers make me dizzy.

TBH I dont understand it either, at least, not from the wiki article. I do remember some guy telling me an understandable explanation at a party once (astrophysicists throw the best parties ... not really), which made perfect sense (as much as one ball turning into two balls can make), except I was a bit drunk and I forgot how it went. (as far as i know, alcohol doesnt seem to cloud my mathematical understanding, it'll work slower, be unable to grasp bigger things, but it still won't accept incorrect stuff)

It once made me break into a Church in Middlesborough and steal three bibles and a pew.
