“What is zero divided by zero?” If you ask Siri this question in the iOS 8 operating system, the iPhone's virtual assistant will cleverly tell you that you're making no sense. “Imagine that you have zero cookies,” Siri's response begins, “and you split them evenly among zero friends. It would seem that Siri is more intelligent than this task. Please modify the task description to explain the reason why 0 is a magic number. Hint A144688 defines Magic numbers: "all numbers from 0 to 9 are magic; a number >= 10 is magic if it is divisible by the number of its digits and the number obtained by deleting the final digit is also magic." So 1 is not Magic because 1 divides 1.--Nigel Galloway (talk) 13:18, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
