Infinity * Zero = Any Number ARGUE HERE

[johnnyhoney0]

I just noticed this thread and I was leafing through it, learning as I went. I don't know if this issue has been taken care of yet (I didn't feel like reading all the way through the thread), but I just wanted to give my input.

I think what Shash is saying here is true because if -...-...-...- goes on forever (infinity) then there are infinity # of sticks and infinity # of stones. So you can't really say that there are more sticks than stones, because if the set goes on forever, then there are infinite amounts of both.

Still don't believe me? Still think "OMG NO JOHNNY 3:1 3:1 3:1!!!"? Then look at this:

Let I stand for infinity.

(I have to also remind everyone, just for my own sake, so I don't get a billion questions later, that if you multiply 2 and X, you can write it as 2X. That's what I'm doing here.)

Look at the fact that 1I = I, and then look at the fact that 3I = I. If I've read this thread correctly so far, both of those things are true. Well, if those things are true, we can say that 1I is the same as 3I, right?

So, if 1I is the same as 3I, then it makes sense for Shash to say that there are an equal amount of sticks and stones if the pattern is indeed infinite.

If that hasn't been taken care of yet, I believe it has been now.
