She's much better at Scrabble than I am.

11. There's a thread on this topic in the Science forum.

Could you use your knowledge of elementary mathematics to identify a specific error in the Original Post of that thread? If you can identify a specific error in the Original Post of that thread, then please post in that thread a description of at least one such error.

14. False.

It doesn't matter what 0/0 is, the fact that a thing isn't something else never demonstrates that it equals some particular value, unless you first posit that there are only two possibilities.

IOW, it may be true that 0=0, but not because 0/0 isn't 25.
