Try looking up infinite set theory. We can understand infinity at least well enough to coherently answer questions such as this puzzle, and others.<BR/><BR/>You might insist that the concept of infinite cardinality is not "true infinity," but that's sort of like saying we can never understand the concept of zero because the mere symbol "0" is not truly zero.millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05990852054891771988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124539381685751273.post-19113469765240883412008-03-14T18:05:00.000-07:002008-03-14T18:05:00.000-07:00Actually, no one has answered this puzzle because ...Actually, no one has answered this puzzle because there isn't an answer that any human knows. Theoretical scientists and mathematicians are puzzling over this, the human mind isn't capable of handling 'eternity' or 'infinity'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124539381685751273.post-13302761828940458722008-02-05T09:02:00.000-08:002008-02-05T09:02:00.000-08:00Thanks for the feedback.

Like there's no "real" answer except an equation of some sort. Maybe if you chose puzzles with a smaller variation of possible answers, more people would be interested. <BR/>I myself actually rarely look at anything but the puzzles, but some of them I just can't solve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
