Nope, it's eight.

@KnightOfTheRebellion, I have no idea what that means, but I have a feeling it has to do with something other than math, which is really too bad, because I love math.

@ShadowBobcat10,Its only 90 degrees away from infinity. Anyway, if you like math, an interesting thing to look into is something called Gabriel's horn.

@KnightOfTheRebellion, and your answer was cheating. It's like saying that closest number to five is 5+1-1. Your just writing the same number in different form.

@KnightOfTheRebellion, I guess what I should have asked is what the closest finite number to infinity.

@KnightOfTheRebellion, I said the closest number to infinity was the decimal with infinite zeros behind it, but I still don't understand the thing with the degrees.

That makes sense. It makes so much sense. That would be just a little short of infinity, just through the smallest decimals. You're smart.  

@Lata, Well the problem is that when you add or subtract or multiply anything by infinity is still infinity. So your saying the closest number to infinity is infinity. The 90 degrees thing was a joke. because if you turn 8 sideways, it looks like an infinity symbol.

@KnightOfTheRebellion, Yeah, I got the joke. I had heard that one before. 
But I don't think the same rule applies for subtraction. Multiplication and addition, yes it is infinity but the subtraction and division of infinity are different. 

@Lata, The only thing you can divide or subtract infinity by to make it not equal to infinity is infinity. Or you can divide infinity by zero, but then it becomes undefined.
To try to explain it, imagine the infinite space that we live in. Now if you were to not include the milky way as part of space, space would still be infinite.
Or if you had an unlimited amount of money, you could divide it amongst your friends, and you, and your friends would still have an unlimited amount of money. 

But even dividing infinity by infinity is very strange. Hilbert's paradox of the Grand Hotel, shows that if you had an infinite number of guests, and an infinite number of rooms for them to fit in, then the hotel will never be full. 

@KnightOfTheRebellion, That makes a whole lot sense. Infinity is a strange concept in itself. It's best not to think too much on it. 

Those are the best kinds of bribes.

@KnightOfTheRebellion, Ha, ha, I guess the sense of urgency, huh?
