But the question didnt say add six every time you subtracted six

But the question didn't tell you that you couldn't.

[uknesvuinng]

How about this... I win.

[Eoin]

No, 6/30 = 0.2.

I didnt say 6 divided by 30, i said 6 divided into 30

Nothing last for infinity. YOU can only do it for the time you are alive. Because of that my answer was correct. Infinity is too long.

Infinity is accepted in maths cause some equations have no end result.

Entropy can be defeated!
-Or stalled at least...
If we just build a large enough super-collider to create the next Big-Bang.

How many cookies can you eat on an empty stomach?

It means the same, but 30/6=5.

[srg]

It means the same, but 30/6=5.

She's right you know, don't argue with scientists

But the question was for how long YOU could subtract 6 from 30. Life is not forever and becuase of that the answer can't be.
If the question was for how long it would be possible to subtract 6 from 30 without limiting it to any number of people your answer would be the correct one.

lol, now im all confused , anyway the question was "how many times can you take six away from 30", only once because after you have taken it away you no longer have 30

lol, but the question wasnt how long, it was how many

But as stated previously by me I can still add 6 inbeween subtrackting it since your question didn't stop me from doing so.
Math can sometime give more then one correct answer it seems.
at least in thise thread.

Just write infinity, doesn't take a lifetime to write that. It's accepted to write that in maths for certain equations.

And that's limited by the number of years you live. I said a great many times and the other option was infinity. My answer was clearly the more correct one if we limit it to just one person. right?
