    You don't have to worry Itza. Anyone who was banned for more than one reason is never going to be a mod on the samll chance they are even allowed back. As far as GM_k is concerned, I would also be pissed if you were demoted just because GM_k returned, but the odds of that happening are less than .000...001. If GM_k did return and prove that he should be a mod again you would both just probably share being mods of Space Junk.

    Phew, thanks for the clarification. It was a shame to see him leave, but one of the reasons being because he was no longer a mod really ticked me off. It basically gave me the impression that he thought if you're not a mod, you're nobody. Anyway, I don't want to bring that discussion up again...
    Haha, don't bring up the 0.999.../0.000....0001 topic again. That was exhausting. :p

    So what is 0/0? If we aren't going to talk about 1=.999... then we should come up with some other math topic.

    @ LordKerwyn. In fact I ran that past my maths teacher one lesson. He says it doesn't exist. I explained the whole x/x thing to him but it's not the case. I forget his exact wording, but he basically said it's not feasible. Something like zero is the absence of a number so it's impossible to have something over nothing. Again, I can't really remember exactly, but if he says it's so, you'd be crazy to challenge him. He's like a god at maths.

    @ Wlck742. A more terrifying thing to discuss would be a googolplex. I've had several conversations about this at school. If I remember correctly, a googol is a one with a hundred zeros, and a googolplex is a one with a googol zeros. Apparently it's impossible to fit a googolplex of information in the observable universe. Also, don't get me started on the fourth spatial dimension...

    nonono, you cant be demoted just because they came back, but if they do come back, that would be awesome

    Maths? Lol. Anyways, I heard my math teacher (he was a god at 'maths' too, first place in a ton of competitions and stuff) say 0/0 = infinity, but I don't remember why. I think it had something to do with the fact that if you separate a number into 0 parts, you'll always get 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0......(infinite number) 0+ 0 + 0 + 0 = 0. Or some stuffs like that. I don't rightly remember.

    o/o = infinity is in analytic geometry where anything divided by zero is infinity and thus doesnt exist in a plane or in reality

    Meh, I wouldn't be surprised at all if this was never solved. Or if it is ever solved it won't be by humans. I don't think we're ready to understand things like infinity, time, 4D, etc, etc.

    I would say 0/0 is undefined or more accurately can be any number because of the nature of infinity and 0 (0/0 is basicly 0 x infinity). They over both overide all other information when they are multiplied or divided by so the only way to know what 0/0 is, would be to know the situation that created it.

    On/off topic (or something) Congratulations, ItzaHexGor, on becoming a mod!

    Back off/on topic... 0/0, if it is the result of a limit (i.e. lim(x->0)x/x), 0/0 is an indeterminate form. One must use algebra to simplify, or L'Hopital's rule, or other methods to determine if it does have a valid result. In the case of straight out 0/0 (no limits or "almost zero" types), it is considered "undefined," but that is true for any situation with x/0.
    I personally like to think that it is 1, since it is similar to 0^0, which is often treated as 1.

    @Meee: A camel being the best mathematician on the Disc, yes?

    Thanks 11-Sodium.
    Onto the fourth spatial dimension... A tesseract is a basically four dimensional square. If it's a square in the second dimension, a cube in the third dimension, it's a tesseract in the fourth spatial dimension. Here's a picture of the shadow of a one:

    And here's the net of one:

    Creepy, huh?
