Better handling of integer wraparound in the kernel

As a mathematician, I'd find this response silly. If you want to be pedantic: "number" does not imply "real number" any more than it implies "integer". In fact, I'd argue that without any further context, then the fact that the name UINT_MAX seems to carry the implication of being an integer is enough for a reasonable person to at least assume that the question is about integers.

Your answer would come off to me as quite obtuse. Sure, nothing wrong with clarifying along the lines of "you mean integers, right?" But assuming reals and stating that the problem cannot be solved is just silly. And problematic because you, too, made a whole bunch of assumptions about the (somewhat imprecisely specified) task.
