News and other articles with clickbait bypassed by including the spoiler in the title (put it after a vertical bar "|") or in the post body. Same basic idea as reddit's savedyouaclick, but less uptight for now. E.g. it's fine to link directly to non-paywalled news sources. Mod volunteers wanted.

Infinity is not usually considered as a number.

One can get very pedantic about this — if we want to fully specify the problem we need to define what number system X is a part of (reals, integers, natural numbers, etc) None of those number systems I named include infinity, so infinity can’t be a solution under those definitions of the problem.

But if we say X is an element of the super-reals (real + infinity) then infinity can be a solution
