Can you combine a guess and a final guess (same post)?
The answer is no. You make a guess, or you make a Final Guess, you cannot do both at the same time. Actually, you can, but I will not respond to it so it is a total waste of time and space, but you could do it if you fel like typing for no reason. |

In the math world I grew up with, this cannot be calculated- it is undefined. You cannot divide by zero   |

so I calculated that last answer at 7/7. Where are my flags? LOL
I'm thinking the next time you all hear from me will be my final guess as I don't have another one until tomorrow and I'm pretty sure this is solved at or before the clock reset.

Like every response to date, the '/' is simply a division of the two parts of the answer. It is not a mathematical operation.

The first half 68/12*7/49*0 corresponding to the first number and the second half (12*23/3*0*8) corresponding to the second number each independently cannot be done with current math technology. Each operation is "undefined" because there is a zero in the denominator.

Back to my question on the "final guess"
If it was 50/50 (coinflip) you could do the guess and final guess and know you got it.
By sniping I meant stealing it at the last second (2 quick posts, or guess and final guess same post)
not the sniping as used in this game, ah semantics.
For all I know this stuff never happens, being a rookie and all.

Thats actually what my calculator said although I was just doing the division for the heck of it. Such great technology today, calculators that do words. Saw the zeros and knew it meant 0/0. At least I thunk so. |

Undefined means infinity I think, if memory serves me correctly.

I thought if you multiply something zero times ,it's zero.
That's why I was surprised the calculator said undefined.
Not that it talks or anything like that.

The rule is 0 divided by anything is 0. Anything divided by 0, however is undefined.
0 * anything is 0 and anything * 0 is 0. In the above examples the zero is in the denominator which makes it undefined and the calculator is also correct.
