What you forget is that ...No it has to be infinity.<br />What you forget is that maths is not logical.

If you are the apple-owner & want to give the apples away to no-one, then you are still the one left with them, not the no-one. You'd have to destroy the apples to divide them amongst no-one, so the answer is thus no apples (zero). If you keep them you have divided the apples amongst one person - you.Richard WalkLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306430776956627549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767918086420070312.post-61539319087385724272010-02-23T19:48:27.135+00:002010-02-23T19:48:27.135+00:00The Wikipedia article makes my point very neatly, ...The Wikipedia article makes my point very neatly, whilst reaching the opposite conclusion.
