REALITY CHECK

The last time I looked, mathematics was an wxact science. Try this for exact. Question 1. Since the implementation of the TSA methods of screening, how many acts of terrorism have been attempted on our airlines? Answer 1. Pick any number. Question 2. How many acts of terrorism have been accomplished on our airlines in that time? Answer 2. 0 Now divide Answer 1 by answer 2 and you get 0%. And 0% is a very nice number.

MATHEMATICAL CHECK

Division by zero is undefined. You get no answer when you divide a number by 0.
