Well put.  However the nature of the question you asked does not
necessarily allow for a correct finite answer.  If I ask for 10/3, for
instance, or 1/0.  To play devil's advocate, then:  you should have known
that some of the answers would need to be truncated.  This just truncates a
little more aggressively.  ;-)
