And negative cakes just make you more hungry.

Yeah, I guess, lots of maths being done without units is the culprit here.
2 / 0.5 = 4
just makes it sound like you’ve magically applied some transformation to2
, which has cloned it.2 cakes / 0.5 cakes = 4 half-cakes
rather makes it clear why it’s suddenly double the amount, without cloning involved.xilliah@beehaw.org 8 months ago
I’m quite excited to help with any other things you have difficulties with.
