The function g(a,b,x,y,N) =  (a/x)^(b/y)N produces an infinite number of 
almost integers to any desired precision for real numbers a,b,x,y,N, abxyN> 
0   This is related to the conumdrum 0^0 = 1 which, ironically, can also be 
indeterminate. For any real number y, 0^(y-y) = 0^y/0^y = 0/0.  "There's No 
such thing as a free lunch."
