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?

Is the joke not on the author as at the upper limit the function divides by zero?

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
