WASHINGTON, June 30 (UPI) -- Apple's popular artificially intelligent assistant has made waves with her sassy answer to an impossible math problem.

"Imagine that you have zero cookies and you split them evenly among zero friends," Apple's prize AI responds as the screen reads "Indeterminate."

"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."

Social media users couldn't believe their ears since Breaking Bad actor Aaron Paul was among the first to bring attention to the response during the wee-hours of Tuesday morning. "Ask Siri 'what is zero divided by zero?' RIGHT. NOW." he wrote.
