Hahahahahahaha I´m not a Blondie but...
Yeah I admit it: I hate maths!
very good GG, :)
I always liked math, but I always got in trouble for just putting the answers
and not showing my work,
I could have used some of these examples above. :D

Heres one I found:D
Try this search on Google: 1 - 0.9 - 0.1
the answer they give is: 1 - 0.9 - 0.1 = -2.77555756 × 10-17
of course the right answer is zero, which is what Yahoo Search gives:
1 - 0.9 - 0.1 = 0
to illustrate the problem with Google rounding:
1 / ((1 - 0.9 - 0.1) * (10^17)) = -0.36028797
when the right answer should be infinity, however yahoo gives this same wrong answer too:
1/((1 - 0.9 - 0.1) * (10^17)) = -0.3602879702
:lol2:
it looks like Google fixed their caluclator and now the give the answer of zero to the first question
and it won't answer the 2nd question since your trying to divide by zero.
