State

The divided-logs error reads log_b(M)/log_b(N) as log_b(M/N); a quotient of logs is not the log of a quotient.

Show

log₂(32)/log₂(4) = 5/2 = 2.5, while log₂(32/4) = 3. Different animals — and the first one has an honest name waiting.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
