Unfortunately for you guys, it's not possible for the answer to be zero. You can't divide by zero so the last 2 would be impossible problems. There is another answer that works. I'll let you guys figure it out.
It does work, because both values are 0. 0/0=0
As for the other answer, please tell.

Well done! How did you find it?
Well, first of all it's the second game that you always talk about. Other than that, I just googled:
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

There's a special word for stuff like this, where you could conceivably give it any number of values. That word is "indeterminate." It's not the same as undefined. It essentially means that if it pops up somewhere, you don't know what its value will be in your case. For instance, if you have x->0 of x/x and of 7x/x, the expression will have a value of 1 in the first case and 7 in the second case. Indeterminate.
Listen People, the answer is zero. The only problem with that equation is the fact that 1=2. Which if you guys thought about it cannot be possible, so it is merely a line to mislead you in the final outcome.
One can never equal 2, unless you are talking about infinite values. Which may be possible if you are talking about algebra, but once the letters are replaced with an actual value then it becomes an incorreect sum.
X and Y both equal zero. I dunno the exact point of 1=2 because n matter how you look at it 1 and 2 are neither X nor Y so replacing X and Y with 1 and 2 is impossible. You could only ever have the Equation as 1X=2Y or something similar because both values equal zero.
The SOLUTION is "Indeterminent." This means that the value can change and it's expressed as a limit. Did you guys get to college? There is a lot of shit in the math world that doesn't make sense.
6/0 = Undefined
0/0 = Indeterminent
NOT the same thing.
Check this out:
x = 0.9999...
10x = 9.9999...
10x - x = 9.9999... - 0.9999...
9x = 9
x = 1
This is the same crap as the i numbers. We are talking in terms of logic here. Math laws are wrong. There is also the thing about every number to the 0 power being one... where 0 to the 0 power would be 1, lol. But this doesn't apply to a logic problem.
Then it should be 9.(9). And I'm not sure you can work with that number the way you did. Because the 9.99999999999 is going to end somewhere eventually, if you are to compare numbers, you have to set them to, umm, equal forms of repeating or something.

Actually, it's correct, I just wanted to see how many people would try and figure out another answer.

Well, first of all it's the second game that you always talk about. Other than that, I just googled:
"The Sum must be correct" rpg
And it worked. Now I want my reward
0/0 = 1
(2*0)/0 = 2
There is no other answer. I just wanted everyone to spend an hour trying to figure it out.

this forum is weird... so
Don't argue, you are wrong.

0 doesn't equal two.
(2*0)/0=2
0/0=2
0=2
incorrect
Unless of course the * doesn't mean multiplication? We aren't wrong, you are. The answer is zero.
NO. It's not 0. It's called indeterminant and what happens is you cancel first. Always.
2x/x = 2 no matter what x is, including 0.
The point of the parentheses isn't to define order of operation but to help show which was numerator and which was denominator. Stop arguing.

SO STOP WHINGING ABOUT IT OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
y=2y <- same deal
y/y=(2y)/y <- 1/1=2x1/1......hence
1=2
The only problem being that Y doesn't equal 1, it equals zero........
So any product excepting that from the last equation would be incorrect.
If x/x = 1 then 5/5 = 1, 3/3 = 1 and 0/0 = 1
so
0/0 = 2(0/0)
1 = 2
It makes sense. 0 is the solution. When I said it wasn't, I was kidding. Damn.

Do me favour, get no apples and divide them into no groups. How many apples do you have left?
Huh, I honestly thought it would be harder to find than that. The reference even within the game is obscure.
And now for your reward: +2 credibility points.

Check this out:
x = 0.9999...
10x = 9.9999...
10x - x = 9.9999... - 0.9999...
9x = 9
x = 1
I just proved 0.9999... = 1
Doesn't make sense, but I did it anyways.

x = 0.9999
10x = 9.999
10x - x = 9.999 - 0.9999 = 8.9991
9x = 8.9991
0.9999 * 9 = 8.9991
It's not going to work.
Ahh, but don't you see? Now you're the one sticking it to the innumerates.
