I had a thought...

Not worth dying for, adrina_kellers. Thank you, Judg .

Congrats, whiteninja. Takes a mathematician to appreciate the beauty of pi. To me, it's just a button on the calculator.

I can prove to you that any number* to the power zero is equal to 1, and it's a simple proof. Shall I post it?

*except for zero. whiteninja isn't going to try to explain that, but I don't blame him. (If zero to any positive power is zero, and to any negative power is undefined, why does zero to the zero equal one? This is purely out of curiosity. I have seen no practical use for it so far so one could say "it doesn't matter".)

Edit: Google it! First result:

has a proof. XD

I was thinking about a maths problem aswell:

Our number system is base 10, however it's possible to get base 16, 2 (binary) etc. etc... But can you get base -2?

You'd have to cap the number of digits on your values, I think.

4 digit cap:

0 = -1111
1 = -1110
2 = -1101
3 = -1100
4 = -1011

etc. etc. For you see, as you get bigger in base 10 (1, 2, 3, 4) you have to get bigger in base -1. Of course, you start at the lowest value, which is -infinite. Which requires you to have a cap on the number of digits.

Of course, I could be wrong, what do you guys think?
