No wait, zero is just one divided by infinity, so there are only two numbers, zero and one. So if the answer is not zero, it must be one.  (ie, how to justify dimensional analysis and ignore any dimensionaless constant).&lt;p&gt;Hysterical, especially for the fact that he quotes &amp;#x27;two&amp;#x27; and &amp;#x27;three&amp;#x27; in the sentence itself.</text></comment>

As in `for i = 0 to n`.&lt;p&gt;Don’t believe those mathematicians when they tell you that `i` is “imaginary”.</text></comment>
