Computing. I just found it funny how the "popular design" of a house is on its side. ^^

Hmm, what is it called when you transfer money from a card to a shop's bank account?

Just doesn't exist. The limit of 1/x as x tends to 0+ is +? though.

Don't you know that some processors would say -1?

The answer is obviously infinity. Zero isn't a value and can't be multiplied or divided, so no figure will ever be given as an answer.

I think Hunchman demonstrated this in a complicated mathematical way.

How many Zeroes are there in One?

Supposedly infinity, because units of zero are uncountable.

Well, not really. 1/0 simply doesn't exist. You could say that 1/0+ = +∞ and 1/0- = -∞ (these are limits), but there's nothing you can say about 1/0.
And zero actually is a number, it's the neutral element for addition and the absorbing element for multiplication.

Also, what I said wasn't really complicated, I studied it when I was 13 or 14.

Both infinity and zero aren't figures, so it's impossible to gain a value as an answer. The answer therefore must be infinity because values of zero are not accumulative. I think that's what you were saying, but if not, I have a fairly sturdy answer going on these facts.
