::::::: My comparison was not between "J solution" and "Incorrect solution implemented in language X". My comparison was between "J solution" and "languages such as Javascript which yield NaN for 0/0". If the J solution is incorrect for giving a non-answer when there are an infinity of answers, then the Javascript language must also be incorrect. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 19:50, 16 September 2011 (UTC) |

:::::::: <code>[(0, -3), 2], [(0, 0), 1], [(0, 3), 2]</code> doesn't have infinite number of answers. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 20:12, 16 September 2011 (UTC) |
:::::::: <code>[(0, -3), 2], [(0, 0), 1], [(0, 3), 2]</code> doesn't have infinite number of answers. Nor does it have an answer involving an inf: there are 8 solutions, all are finite circles. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 20:12, 16 September 2011 (UTC) |
