It's True! Google really CAN solve any problem!

testing google's outer limits:


so apparently longURL*longURL to the fifth + a lot of hungry people + pi = 1.99007151 x 10 (to the 122th)

More information is needed.

Yeah....what is the point of this?

Just going round in near circles ?

google has a built in calculator function.

for example, if you search for 2*2 it comes up with this calculator thing saying "2 * 2 =4 MORE ON GOOGLE CALCULATOR"

so i was testing how much sh*t i could put in before it would error. and thats about the limit

Make it divide by zero.

But surely 1/0 cannot equal infinity, since if you can 2 lengths of 1 metre into a 2 metre box, then 2/1=2, by that logic you can fit infinite metre lengths into a box of 0 metres...

lim x -> 0, f(x) = 1/x is the same as infinity (sorry for the lack of proper notation). See limit on wikipedia for moar info.

1/x converges to infinity as x converges to 0. 0 is never reached though and neither is infinity.

BINGO, we have a winner!
