And a question:

n objects ÷ n boxes = 1 object per box

how do you know this is true?

At that point, i was showing how it should be from a layman's perspective - some or most of our audiences aren't professional mathematicians, it was never concluded in the article that it was "absolutely" true.

then one of this two possible statements must be false

  1. The rule of any number dividing itself to give one is a consistent (no contradiction) rule for all numbers
  • Zero is a number (or true number)

If statement 1 is true, then statement 2 is false and vice versa.

What is so funny, is that neither of the two statements presented above (1and 2) can be formally proved to be "absolutely" true or false.
