Re: Here's one for the math geeks :)
Ok, for all that want the answer...here it is........

*dramatic drum roll* *some more drum roll, and now a guitar solo for kicks*


The answer.......shall be.........UNDEFINED!!!!!

The rule of exponents (I believe, I know this is true, dunno from what though) state that no exponent shall have a base that is equal to zero. If you have a graphing calculator (prefer. a TI series 83 and up), just put in "0^0" w/o quotes, and you should get an error. If you tried this while using Windows calc., or some other O/S calc., then you'd get one, because the program probably uses a exponent function which only does basically figuring (IE: It doesn't see it as "0 can not be a base", it sees it as "0 raised to the 0 power equals zero").

Ok, enough rambling, I hope you all enjoyed this brain teaser.
