Anyone else on team φ
When people give me a range from 1 to X I always pick 1 to poop on the party
When I’m watching TV with friends I like to leave the volume at 9, 11, 17… numbers like that, and then act like they are the crazy ones if they get annoyed
Am I the only one that doesn’t care what the volumes at? if I can hear it and it isn’t too loud idc if its even, odd or ending in 5/0
you seem to be neurodivergent, normal people can only do evens and multiples of 5.
I don’t even look at the number, I just listen
Wow, look at this showoff using their ears to listen! I bet you don’t even need subtitles to hear better.
It’s true 😏
I always pick a transcendental irrational number. If they make the mistake to only ask me for a number it’s gonna be complex. What do you mean, “is it greater than 5?”? What the hell is “great than”???
Or if they expect that, go for a quaternion instead!
This is fun, I will do this from now on
It’s technically infinite, but the set of numbers we can express (in a reasonable timeframe), while large, is finite.
well real numbers are uncountable, but the set of numbers you can think of and describe is still countable
Is it? I could be convinced but I’m going to need a proof before I believe that
You have the explanation, but more precisely: the set of definable real numbers is countable, because a mathematical definition can be encoded as a finite sequence of mathematical symbols (of which thereare only finitely many), and so there are only countably many definitions.
Hence most real numbers are undefinable.
By the way, there is a simple proof that all natural numbers are definable: if not, then there is a smallest undefinable number. But “the smallest undefinable natural number” would then be a definition of that number :)
My favorite number is 43758.5453 I picked it at random.
