> A particularly interesting example I remember is the guy who asked what were the digits that made up the number ∞. It's a number, so it must have digits, right?
I don't think there are many areas of math where ∞ is a number. In my experience people have a whole other problem with ∞, thinking that it is some sort of huge concept defined globally in math, where it is just a notation shared by various non-mystical definitions across subjects (e.g. bijection-based definition of infinite set, epsilon-based definition of convergence, etc)
