I'm glad I'm not the only one. Just today, I was in a conversation when trying explain broadly what Number Theory is and a little bit why I find it fascinating and pursuing Masters then Docterate. What annoyed me the most was being told that Mathematicians cannot simply understand not comprehend infinity. Shortly after explaining the number systems and infinity. I was asked about my favourite number. What was truly cringe worthy was the topic of Proofs, apparently i was told that they don't really exist! xD What a waste of 5 year ax in maths.

What is your favorite number?

Take comfort, I believe you exist.

"n" That usually messes with them a little bit.

Not the OP -- Pi.i -- sounds like a cockney insult.
