And zero is How Much?
And How Much If It's Divided X 7?
Multiplied By 3.15 X 8 - 37 + 86, = $37.50?

Considering the dates listed below, Cpl Vic Burk is definitely old.
"There are at least two discoveries, or inventions, of zero," says Charles Seife, author of Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea (Viking, 2000). "The one that we got the zero from came from the Fertile Crescent." It first came to be between 400 and 300 B.C. in Babylon, Seife says, before developing in India, wending its way through northern Africa and, in Fibonacci's hands, crossing into Europe via Italy.
Initially, zero functioned as a mere placeholder—a way to tell 1 from 10 from 100, to give an example using Arabic numerals. "That's not a full zero," Seife says. "A full zero is a number on its own; it's the average of –1 and 1."

Maj Robert Thornton I've talked to my students about where zero came from and how they did math before zero was invented. That must have been where this student came up with this old man statement.

My ancestors were Neanderthals and when they saw Adam and Eve with clothes they said 'there's a couple of zeros'.
