The Prince: The only numbers are zero and infinity.
The King: And cookies.
The Prince: What is cookies?
The King: Infinity plus zero is cookies. Infinity minus zero is cookies.
The Prince: So does that mean that infinity and cookies are the same?
The King: No. I know they may seem the same because I said infinity plus or minus zero is cookies, but they're not the same!
The Prince: So, does that mean that zero can have any value?
The King: No.
The Prince: Can infinity have any value?
The King: No.
The Prince: Can cookies have any value?
The King: No.
The Prince: Let us run at zero miles per hour.
The King: That's just not moving at all.
Ther Prince: Let's run at infinity miles per hour.
The King: OK.
The Prince: Let's run at cookies miles per hour.
The King: OK. It's hard to tell the difference between infinity and cookies, huh?]
The Prince: Stop.
The King: OK, I stopped.
The Prince: How to reduce cookies to infinity?
The King: Well, if we took all the numbers and variables and divided that by cookies, then we would get a singular cookie.
The Prince: And if we did that again to a singular cookie, would we get infinity?
The King: Yes.
The Prince: Let's add another value.
The King: OK. How about cats?
The Prince: What's that?
The King: It's something to represent a value that we don't know if it's zero, infinity, cookies, or a singular cookie.
The Prince: How do we find out?
The King: With the Imaginary Tetrahedron?
The Prince: What does it look like?
The King: A tetrahedron with faces showing zero, infinity, cookies, and a singular cookie.
The Prince: Let's try!
The King: OK. So, cats is how fast we're going. We roll the Imaginary Tetrahedron, we check the bottom and it is infinity. So we were running infinity miles per hour.
