If infinity _is_ a number, it might be a possible solution to the game theory question. The average of any set of numbers that includes infinity is infinity, and infinity + 10 is still infinity. I probably wouldn't try that in most classes, but a game theory professor might approve "gaming" the system, as it were. | If infinity _is_ a number, it might be a possible solution to the game theory question.

pre-algebra: 4, calculus: pi^2 / 4 (about 2.467), physics: cosmological constant: depends on how you measure it 162.158.167.48 18:11, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Game theory: -5x10⁶ (maybe helpful, maybe not... just be thankful I didn't include an i factor in there somewhere...) 172.70.162.185 18:20, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Could somebody reformat all the math here in whatever LaTeX plugin this wiki uses? --162.158.222.102 18:35, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Probably not, because the MathML here is broken. But, also, nothing I see requires anything particularly complicated, it can all stay in fairly straightforward (standardly formatted) text. 141.101.98.224 18:44, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
I had to look up "TREE(3)." Seriousness aside, I think the largest number would be the astrological sign 1 that has its end_points_ as galaxy clusters.172.68.245.184 19:26, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
