Zero

[MSTRS:Me]

Any other whole number can be classified as odd or even... which one is zero?

I understand that zero can be either, neither or both. But not at the same time

As for colours...White reflects all parts of the visible light spectrum, whereas Black absorbs all.
Of course, the pertinent point is 'visible'...to the human eye. Other creatures that have vision may perceive things very differently...

You've zeroed in on it indeed.

How can 0 be counted as a toll?
Its not a number...
There was no road toll this easter weekend...so it cant be the lowest.
Surely the lowest must sit at 1?
Anything lower than that is ....nothing.

Hmmmmm, all this fuss about nothing! ....

No number on its own counts. To count you require a sequence of numbers.

You are absolutely right.

I never noticed the PhD after your name before...

Correct...zero represents nothing.

What? Where? Those bastards...

Correct...zero represents nothing.

In fact it can also mean +nothing or -nothing...

The other thing I know about zero is it is round. With a hole in the middle.

And the hole is larger than the whole.

The best thing about zero is you can still add as many imaginary numbers on to it.
But be cautious as
0 + i^2 = -1

Hmmmm, 0 and 9 have = value when casting out 9's for checking arithmetic through digital sums. (be prepared to go a little mad here!)
