Can you explain this?

[Grooveville]

I was playing FFR one night and when I was done it said that I had infinity% of the score and I had no credits of my own, just the credits from the song that I had just finished. How can this be?

I dont know how to post a screen shot can someone help?

This happens to me all the time, it's just a glitch.

It happens on select songs, like ball of malt. Its been happening for a while, just dont worry about it.

It is dividing your score by 0, which it thinks the High Score is, and instead of getting an error and having the entire world come crashing down, it just says infinity.

Excellent Deduction watson.

That's because anything divided by 0 is infinity. Because if you don't give anybody any part of it, nobody can have as much as it wants. Or you can use limits and Calculus.

n/0 is not infinity, evil. It is simply undefined.

It happens when you lose connection to the site itself, I believe.

x divided by 0 = 42

tnyHwk, slightly wrong.. you can't just say n/0 = undefined
you have to say (upside down A) n| n<>0 n/0 = undefined

(for all n such that n doesn't = 0, n/0 is undefined... 0/0 is indeterminant)
its been discussed in CT before.. and its basic math so I'll stop this..

but for now... postCount++

thanks guys and I know what happens when you divide by zero it either tends towards infinity or minus infinity or any other real number depending on the function. For example

5(x-10)2 =
(x-2)2
Lim 5
x-2


when x tends towards 2 that means that you are dividing by zero but at the limit using, I don’t know how you say it in English but it’s called the theory of Hospital in french, states that at the limit when you are dividing by zero the answer will be 5. You need to use derivitives for that answer.

Any number divided by 0 gives you infinity
In conclusion, at the limit you can divide by zero. And the FFR computer must have divided a number by zero.

That's cal I its basic stuff.

n/0 != infinity

lim (x->0) n/x = infinity

There's a difference.

(This is assuming, of course, that n != 0.)
