next.

This looks right to me

(but i'm marthermatishun)

Ya, except a -X is not the same as X...

Oh, right......doh !

beer.....only my 3rd though.....

The answer is infinite.

Possibly a photon.

en.wikipedia.org...

He just needs a variable Frequency.

Same number as the maximum number of cubes needed to sum to any positive integer when both it and it's resultant number are added across to a single digit.

The answer is obvious, and describes this thread:

Stupid + half of stupid = Stupid.

is stupidity quantifiable? otherwise, stupid = infinitely stupid; thus, not valid.

on a side note....stupid is as stupid does

There we go.

Just so you're aware..

you just helped me solve an equation that is deemed unsolvable by the math community.

now i just have to figure out how to place it together and make sense out of it.

sigh I all most had it.
I think it has some thing to do with containment.
but I lost the thought as soon as I had it.
well I am playing a computer on line game and reading this!
and my dong keeps punting hit paw on the mouse.
he needs a walk. god its cold here --6.

can you explain it more?
is it number or physics or some thing else?

or some thing silly!
like a full glass and you add 1/2 a glass.
it can not contain it!?!?!?

huh, mate, ain't you brainf*cker??? however, thanks for funny question i'm gonna a little trick situation: (X+a*N) mod a == X

i will be making a new post explaining the reasoning and what this all means.

this is very interesting lets see what we can come up with.

Perhaps it is a strand of replicating DNA if you think about it. you have one strand ("something"), and when it replicates it splits and each side builds half of a strand (+1/2 of "something) as a template for the other half. When this process is complete there is still a DNA strand ("something").

-1/4 is not the same as 1/4.. just so you know before you contact the nobel prize people

A number that represents a phasor for which the frequency is such that adding 1/2 results in a full 2Pi turn of the phasor.

-rrr

You cannot add any nonzero number to something and get the same number.

this is where all these questions came from.

thats this thread..

due to an error on my part that thread is basically meaningless.

The question still stands:

q = q + 1/2

?

According to the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy and the answer is 42.

Don't ask me to explain it though...it only works when the infinite improbability drive is engaged.

if your question would be F(q)=F(q+a), it's possible; in your case -- No Eternity is common answer, but it will give you Nothing in any way

YeeeeeeeeZ_zz, man, Indeed, Brilliant book & film No doubt, 42!!!
