bun for using the word painter. |
|
|
I'm a bit simple so if you could break it down for me
that would be great. (could also be worded, "what
the f@#K are you talking about!?") |
|
|
Also the answer is 'fill'. |
|
|
so not "1001 uses for a trumpet" then ? |
|
|
and depends on the body shape and paint thickness, obviously. |
|
|
// the answer is 'fill'// |
|
|
Thanks for the link, the math is a bit over my head
though. Not due to lack of IQ but rather due to lack
of mathematical training. Paint goes a long way
though. Although I did put $30000 of paint on one
building once. I thought that building was going to
take an infinite amount lol |
|
|
changed "two performers" to "one or more
performers" |
|
|
There is a mistake in the equation. Just because I
can't find it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. The
answer is still fill. Better questions are, why, and
where did we go wrong? |
|
|
If a person walks from here to the wall, stopping at
the half way point, then walks from there to the
wall stopping again at the new halfway point
he/she will never get to the wall because there
are an infinite number of halfway points to cross.
Yet you can get to the wall. |

I believe this and the other are both answered similarly in that you can't divide an atom in half
(and live to tell about it) so nothing is Infinite. |
|
|
Also, God is only infinite from our perspective, not necessarily from His. |
|
|
Also I don't have a clue. |
|
|
Nice idea, and interesting too - I hadn't come across (heh heh) Gabriel's Horn before |
|
|
The Mathematical equivalent of " Gotcher nose ! ". |
|
|
Brian, it's called 'Zeno's Paradox.' And the shape is a
theoretically infinite horn. There is no mistake in
the equation, it simply can't exist in reality. Gabriel's
Horn is formed from a curve, that if revolved around
the x axis, converges in volume to a finite number
but has infinite length and therefore an infinite surface area with its revolution. It is something like a fractal that way, they also have infinite boundary length but transcribe finite volume. |

//RayfordSteele// are you the real Rayford Steele?
The author? Etheir way thanks. That helped a bit. |
|
|
The author? There's an author? I only know of a pilot. |
|
|
Oh yeah, been a while since I read that book. |
|
|
The problem is, infinite segmentation is not a reality. The smallest real increment, I think mankind has yet to discover. Sadly, I don't think I will be around to see that discovery. |
|
|
The smallest real increment// A couple of my friends
set out to cut an atom in half. I've been waiting for
their report for a while now. hmmm why aren't they
back yet? |
