Zero factorial is considered to be equal to 1. Odd.
2! = 3! / 3 = 6 / 3 = 2
1! = 2! / 2 = 2 / 2 = 1
0! = 1! / 1 = 1
Zero objects can be considered to be arranged in 1 way.
It can be said that an empty set can only be ordered one way, so 0! = 1.

It's the probability that a needle (line shaped object) lands on a line in a ruled paper made with the length of the needle.

2 / PI
Two divided by Pie
This is a common source of domestic issues and occasionally long running family feuds. One person wants more than their share of a pie. Other times, it's about which pie. Will it be Key Lime or Lemon? Coconut or Pecan? Chocolate with or without whipped topping?
It can even go national:
An argument between between the Scottish Federation of Meat Traders Association and Scottish Bakers could spell the end for the World Scotch Pie Championships.
Pie cutting and choice can be a subset of TRANSACTION MEGALOMANIA. Parties often suffer WORRIEDLY LOSS when thinking about how evenly the division will be.
Division of pie has a straight forward solution. One party cuts and the other party has first choice of pie piece.
