Hang on, hang on, now I'm getting confused.
First you asked for the smallest (positive) x such that
1+x /= x
which is around x=4.5e15.
1 + 0 /= 0
0 is smaller than 4.5e15
So I don't understand this at all...
But then 0 isn't positive.
Why not?
In any case every positive number nust satisfy the above inequation so what
about 0.1, which is certainly smaller than 4500000000000000?

strive mightily unseen to destroy us.
