    Goddamn it, I thought any hotdog would work because I thought the division symbol was just a plus. Just use a damn / for division!

    Btw if anyone can solve this send me a message and I’ll give you $100. For totally innocuous reasons of course.

      Nothing says we need to use whole numbers? Anything else will converge to 2,1,4,2,1,4,2,1…

      0.1 on the other hand just keeps shrinking forever…

      Edit: sorry, I should have answered in the form of an emoji: 🌭=🍉÷🍊

        Not quite. You cannot determine whether 0.1 is odd.

        If you define a number to be odd if N mod 2 = 1, then 0.1 is not odd.

        If you define a number to be odd if N mod 2 ≠ 0, then 0.1 is odd.

        As such, I would argue checking if 0.1 is odd would result in “unknown” and you cannot get the value of 🍎₁.
