It was a dark and stormy afternoon. The fog* was dense except during the stormer parts of the stormy weather (which were dark) during the stormy afternoon and night (which was dark and stormy).

* I know this is all different from the actual text of the dark and stormy night thing, but...

Yesterday my seatmate was doing something with her green ballpen (she doesn't know why it happened and I wasn't looking) and it exploded. At first I thought someone threw green paint. It was on my index finger, my wrist, my uniform, my pants and some of my books, notebooks, and pad paper.

I like green anyway.

It looks like people have forgot about this rule, when I wrote:

I know the fact that this rule is not really interesting, since it's almost impossible to have a gun or rake or something like that and thus engineering is highly limited, but I believe it have potential too.

Here's something to bend you minds:

Define x as ∑(infinity)1.
x is effectively 1 * infinity, or infinity.
By definition, x-x = inf-inf = inf.
However, when collapsing the summation, we get ∑(infinity)(1-1) = 0.

That only works if you have cardinals; w-w is not well defined in the simplest system involving transfinite ordinals, since you can’t subtract from limit ordinals.

lim(x->1)(Σ(inf)(1-x)) >> Σ(inf)(1-1)
Ha, testitem!

EDIT:
What is the sum of the p series for p=3? (p=2 is apparently (pi^2)/6)
p=4? p=5? p=n ∀n>1?

lim(x->1)(Σ(inf)(1-x))
What are you even summing over in "Σ(inf)(1-x)"? I only understand it as "adding (1-x) infinite times", which would be identical to infinity.

However, the statement
lim(x->1)(Σ(inf)(1-x)) >> Σ(inf)(1-1)
is wrong, because you are defining Σ(inf)(1-1) as 0. The value of 0*inf is undefined. Proof: Suppose otherwise, that 0*inf = x. Hence, x/0 = inf, bu division by 0 is inherently undefined. (Don't even think about defining limits for x/0, that's not what I'm trying to get at here.)

So you can't compare anything to Σ(inf)0.

I’m sorry, but Σ(inf)0 =/= “your 0*inf” — it’s equal to 0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0... = 0.
While Σ(n)(k) = nk for finite, constant n and k, Σ(inf)0 =/= “0*inf”. You’re just adding 0 infinitely many times. While this IS mutiplication, it’s clear that 0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0=0ω. So maybe I should be more precise.
Σ(ω)(1-1) << lim(x->1)(Σ(ω)(1-x))

Basically, inf isn’t a number so of course 0*inf is undefined. In contrast, 0w is defined as 0.
