Talk:Little White Sign III

Cheapen the Hunt
Although the solution of taking $$x ^ 0 = 1$$ to resolve a thorny $$x$$ in a stubborn sign is quite an elegant trick, I fear it will cheapen the hunt for signs.

Kudos to DS for thinking of it. But now it is out in the open, I feel it should be banned.

 * Randy,


 * I don't see how such a mathematically valid operation could be removed from the game. Past modifications to the Rules have always been focused on areas where definition lacked or the math was weak. Can a point be made that $$x^0 = 1$$ is weak math? — Anonymous 11/10/2005 05:46:00


 * No, the math is not weak, but just when I was ganging up my linebackers for some beefy equating, the $$x^0$$ is like an end around. =) — User:RanWiz 11/10/2005 20:01:00
