Clearly the chicken, who would incubate the egg there was no chiken?

without the benefit of religion since it's all spelled out, that would indeed be the most complex and utterly bullsh!t-ridden answer possible

I know, my first MOD quote! I should put it in my SIG or something to mark the occasion!

Clearly the egg, fish/insects/etc. were laying eggs long before chickens came around.

Chicken vs. Chicken Egg is harder... but Chicken Egg came first too I think.

If you assume "chicken egg" to be an egg that hatches a chicken...
At some point there was a point where whatever sort of bird it was could be defined as a "chicken". There was a first "chicken"... due to mutation of whatever defined its "chickenness". This first "chicken" was in an egg that was layed by the ancestral chicken predecessor.

If you assume "chicken egg" to be an egg layed by a chicken... (which I don't think makes as much sense as the first definition)
The first chicken was hatched from the ancestral chicken predecessor. The first egg it lays is the first "chicken egg", so the chicken came first.

I stand firmly by the theory of "el pollito dice 'pio' 'pio' 'pio'"

Nonsense question. Pi is an irrational number and has no last digit...

Wait...has that been proven? I think whether or not irrational numbers go on forever is one of the "hard" questions of math, but I think it's pretty well speculated if not proven...

Math major want to help me out?

Edit: I'm an idiot, irrational numbers are well understood. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number

What IS questionable is whether "p - e" / "p + e"are rational.

 

[RedArmy]

I'll answer your question with both a question and an answer

Who cares?

I checked...unanswerable, as I first thought.

X = (4 + .9999999999999999999.............999999999999...... )

sigh...that was hard

I was surprised no one mentioned the airplane question until now. Too bad I found this thread too late..

Also.. 0.99999... = 1? Heh. Come on. Those are the two HARDEST questions ever.
