Stroke or Blonde Moment?

[Dixie - In Memoriam]

A fraction is actually TWO numbers, a numerator and denominator. A fraction has no value, it is a representation of value. How much coffee would you like? 1/3! I want 1/3 of coffee! Does that tell you how much coffee? 1/3 of WHAT? A Cup? A Pot? A Gallon? You see, my pinheads, the fraction 1/3 has no value, it represents value OF something else.

Love...set..match!

stroke. mini one. I had one happen to me on memorial day last year. went to work the next day.

Dear goodness, are you okay and what was it like, if you don't mind sharing, it is one of my fears.

YOu didn't read the links that Damo posted did you. From MATH sources, not MA's in Psychology or JD's or Ph D.'s in Philosophy but MATHMATICIANS. That might teach you something. A fraction is a NUMBER that expresses part of a group. It is a NUMBER. Says so right on that first page.

And from http://jamesbrennan.org/algebra/numbers/fractions1.htm

Fractions, also called rational numbers, are numbers of the form a/b , where a and b are integers (but b cannot be zero).

It's hard being you huh dicksie?

Aww... sorry my math arguments are too complicated for you. One can't be divided by three without producing a remainder... still that way today, just as it has always been, and it will be that way again tomorrow, I suspect. But really, Beefy.. you and Grind, and Damo, and Superfreak, and Sochead, Jarhead, Waterhead, whoever wants to join the Stupid Brigage... you all keep chiming in with your remarks about the value of a third, because that is of utmost importance in light of today's troubles. I really do want everyone to know that you people are too stupid to understand basic math, and believe one can be evenly divided into three parts without a remainder. Maybe we can have them change the little "e" they use to describe the remainder value, to a little "p" for PINHEAD?

What's a brigage? This stupid pinhead wants to know...

Inches are a man made unit of measure. I never claimed that something can't be divided into thirds, or that what we divide into thirds can't be presumed to be equal thirds. Those are claims you think I have made, but they only exist inside your pinheaded mind. "33 1/3" is not defined as a value. We presume it to be "1/3" and the remainder value is assumed by one of the three parts. Again, I refer you to the simple math problem above... fill in the blank with a defined value, and you win! You've proven me wrong! Until you can do that, you haven't proven me wrong, and you can't... math is math.

Look at the above moron. In your first two sentences you made errors.

For the first.... EVERY unit of measure is man made you moron. Or do you believe chimps invented the decimal system and base 10?

In the second sentence... you AGAIN state "that what we divide into thirds can't be presumed to be equal thirds" . AGAIN moron.... if you divide a foot into thirds it is EXACTLY 4" per third. It isn't "presumed to be equal" it is EXACTLY equal. You fucking half wit.

I think Dicksie gets confused between real numbers and natural numbers.

 

[Phantasmal]

He has his own set of imaginary numbers.

ROFLMAO....

A fraction has no value?

It is merely a representation of value? So tell us ditzie... .333e have a value or its it also a representation?

As for your coffee 'example'. People also don't say I want 0.25 coffee. You fucking moron.

Really? A 12" wooden ruler measures atoms and microns? I didn't know that! Amazing invention! So you can divide a printed wooden ruler into three equal parts of 4", and each part will contain the exact same number of molecules? Like magic, huh?

This ladies and gentlemen is the first indication that the person you are speaking with has gone over the edge. When they begin to argue absurdly. saying that cutting a wooden ruler into three parts is NOT really three equal parts because you can't get down to the molecules. Well I say you can't get down to equal electrons! Top that you fucking halfwit!

.333e is a value, it is undefined, however. Unless you resolve "e", which you can't, it will always and forever be undefined. We can assume the value, for the sake of being able to divide things into thirds, and the remainder is so insignificant it becomes irrelevant, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist.

Fractions are representatives of value, not values.

Wow.... the above is truly moronic. Who said anything about a standard ruler being used to measure atoms and microns? But I will address your idiocy anyway.... technically, molecules are measured in nanometers given their size.... they are not measured in inches. Though you can convert the nanometers to inches...

1 nanometer = 3.93700787 × 10-8 inches (should be read as 10 to the minus 8, not literally 10-8)

Then you go on about dividing a printed ruler into three 4" segments... yes... that can be done exactly in 3 4" pieces.... you see they would each be EXACTLY 4" long.

Just trying to point out the flaw in your lame assumptions. No need to go postal over it. YOU are the one who introduced the ruler, not me. I just used your example to illustrate how you have not proven me wrong, and have not made a sufficient argument to counter what I stated. I can hastily grab a pie and knife, and have you three pieces cut before you can blink an eye... voila... equal thirds! Does each piece contain the exact same amount? Down to the same total number of molecules? Of course we don't know this, it's absurd, but we can assume the three pieces of pie are relatively equal to each other, thus we've divided the pie into "equal thirds" ...but this has nothing to do with the statement I made, I never said you couldn't divide things into seemingly equal thirds.

or you can restate .333e as 1/3.... which IS a defined value you fucking moron.

Add 1/3 +1/3 +1/3 and you get exactly 3/3 = ONE.

Now be a good little moron and go read the links Damo provided to you.

you truly are a fucking moron. You wonder why people continue mocking your ignorance on this topic?

Tell us ditzie.... could you split that same ruler into 1/4th's? Where each 1/4th of the ruler had the exact same number of molecules?

 

[Dixie - In Memoriam]

or you can restate .333e as 1/3.... which IS a defined value you fucking moron.

Oh? What is the value of "e" ???

Add 1/3 +1/3 +1/3 and you get exactly 3/3 = ONE.

.333e + .333e + .333e = .999e .....hmmmm... something is missing!

Now be a good little moron and go read the links Damo provided to you.

I haven't disputed the links Damo provided. The links aren't claiming that .333e is a defined value, or that 1 can be evenly divided into 3 parts. Those are the claims YOU are making and haven't backed up... Damo's links prove me right and you wrong. It's just that, you want to twist and morph what I said into something absurd, so you can be right. I won't let that happen, so we have 10,000 posts about this silliness.

Yep.. If you knew the total number of molecules, you could accurately split the ruler into 4 equal parts.

 

[Cancel 2016.2]

You are taking only a part of it ditzie. I said .333e can be restated in fractional form as 1/3. Which it can.

.333e + .333e + .333e = .999e .....hmmmm... something is missing!

1/3 +1/3+ 1/3 = 3/3= ONE.

Nothing is missing.

The point is your absurd claim that 1/3 is not a number and that it doesn't have a value is completely destroyed by those sites ditzie.
