NEW YORK, July 1 — Siri is generally pretty polite when you ask her reasonable questions such as, “Where is the nearest coffee shop,” but ask her “What is zero divided by zero”, and Apple’s digital assistant gets pretty feisty.

If you own an iPhone, pull up Siri and ask, “What is zero divided by zero?” While the Apple programme often offers sassy responses, most people say this one takes the cake (or rather cookie in this case!):

“Imagine that you have zero cookies and you split them evenly among zero friends. How many cookies does each person get? See? It doesn’t make sense. And Cookie Monster is sad that there are no cookies, and you are sad that you have no friends.”

The interesting answer was unearthed by “Breaking Bad” actor Aaron Paul via a Twitter message.
