How many times can an integer be halved?

I tried. Gently. Multiple times. You failed to accept my very clear answers. Others answered politely as well.

You did not listen.

You then proceeded to become argumentative:

e.g. When I pointed out that 0/2^n was always 0 you wrote:

"No, an integer cannot be halved infinitely and still result in an integer"

You also claimed others were cheating. One doesn't accuse others of
cheating without expecting a similar response. You need to learn how to accept answers
from your teachers.

Then you need a proper definition of "silly".

2^0 = 1
2^1 = 2
2^2 = 4
etc.

Do you define any of those as "silly"? If so why? They are all powers of two.

Because any even number can be divided by 2. Given the context of the game (see first post) we have to concede that. But frankly this is growing tiresome. You guys really know how to suck the fun out of anything.

Yeah... Thread closed.
