When N=infinity, N/2=N/6, so Tsvi's version goes through with no changes :P
And as for how to resolve it - take limits. The end.
I always wonder why people do things like say N/2=N/6 "Because it's infinite" then act surprise when it implies something weird. It is only very slightly more impressive than the trick from highschool algebra that makes 1=2 because someone divided by zero.
