That sentence is what the B stands for.

It's not really recursion as there's no "stack" to pop your current position on (which can overflow), unless it's either a mental stack, or you pop a bookmark on the page.

I'd be happy with infinite loop rather than goto.

After all, gotos are considered bad. smile

Not a joke so I fail at reading threat titles but this amused me in a geeky way:
Text appeal: Ceefax recreated by 20-year-old Northern Irish man

though of course making it a front page BBC site means everyone has now crashed the site.

When I did GCSE IT in the 80s you had to do a ceefax page as part of the course work - BBC model B computers at the time. Also had to do a text based adventure game.

Does it recreate the interminably long wait for the next page to appear?

No. The overall function has a limit of zero as x tends to 1 (when x=1, the upper half of the fraction is also zero... 0/0 is undefined of course but you can easily graph the function and see that it crosses zero at x=1).

The answer is about 3. Not sure how that helps with a PIN nerd
