They way I was taught division was that if I had four cakes and shared them out between four people, everyone would have one cake.

If I have four cakes and share it with no one, I have four cakes.

Simple, really.
NUh-UH! You can't have your cake and eat it too! It has to sit there and mold and rot. NO ONE GETS CAKE WHEN YOU DIVIDE BY ZERO!!! *Evil laughter*

Actually, by sharing it to no one and consuming the cake to yourself, you are actually dividing the cake by 1. The real "division by zero" analogy using the cake is that if no one really received any piece of cake. So practically it's useless to divide something by zero. You will only leave the cake rotting, assuming that it was true... *dies*

There's no doubt in my mind that if he can survive bombs, then Keith can certainly divide by zero.

As for me, I can't. I'm just built with a human brain. Sos it's impossible for me.

There is no real number in which you can multiple with 0 and get 1. Since 0 has no reciprocal you cannot divide by it.

But you can't share something with yourself. If you keep everything to yourself, you're being selfish, not sharing.

Wait, what are we talking about here? Is it sharing or division by zero? *head explodes*
