good job. therefore 0+0=Infinite

22/7 is used by lazy students who aren't capable of remembering 3.14159265358979.... (Pi, that is).... 22/7 is close enough, but it ain't the real thing

LOL! Good answer!

22/7=3.1428571428571428571428571428571

I thought Pi was incalculable? If you want to use it and use it in all its irrational number-ness you have to go via 22/7 rather than 3.14...Because the latter is only a tiny part of Pi's value,

Are they still logging the value of Pi somewhere?

From http://www.joyofpi.com/pifacts.htm

A number, represented by said letter, expressing the ratio of the circumference of a perfect circle to its diameter. The value of pi has been calculated to many millions of decimal places, to no readily apparent purpose: no perfect circles or spheres exist in nature, since matter is composed of atoms and therefore lumpy, not smooth. Nature
herself sometimes takes to rounding off the more extreme decimals of numbers when they get sufficiently small, as Prof. Heisenberg has pointed out. However, the continued extension of pi provides a harmless exercise of computer power which would otherwise be misused playing Quake or surfing pointless web sites.

22/7 is not even near pi, so using that one isn't such a good idea

You can find the current record here and here's the box they used for it...

X^0=1, for all values of X
so => 0^0 = 1.. but it isn't.. any1 care to explain why, coz it has me flummoxed

Those late night drinking/thinking sessions are really not a good idea...

Flibberdy

the rule is "x^0 = 1 for every value of X excluding 0"
0^0 is like saying 0/0...its undefined.

Here's something I posted a while ago about division by zero...

Division by zero indeed is undefined, and it should stay that way.

Why? Because if you allow a 'Divide by Zero', you'll get things like this:

Premisse: a = b

1.  a²=ab
Because a = b

2.  a² + a² = a² + ab
Add a²

3.  2a² = a² + ab
x + x = 2x

4.  2a² - 2ab = a² + ab - 2ab
Add -2ab

5.  2a² - 2ab = a² - ab
xy - 2xy = -xy

6.  2(a² - ab) = 1(a² - ab)
Single out the factors

7.  {2(a² - ab)} / {a² - ab} = {1(a² - ab)} / {a² - ab}
I'll get to this one in a few...

2 = 1

There you go: 2 = 1

A practical example:

Premise: a=2 and b=2

1.  2² = 2 x 2
2.  4 + 4 = 4 + 4
3.  2 x 4 = 4 + 4
4.  2 x 4 - 8 = 4 + 4 - 8
5.  2 x 4 - 2 x 4 = 4 - 4
6.  2(4 - 4) = 1(4 - 4)

Steps 1 - 6 are correct, but step 7 is why x / 0 should be undefined:

2 / (4 - 4) = 1 / (4 - 4)
