You are wrong? Listen, there are infinity many unit fractions just like 
there are infinity many natural numbers. Wrt using unit fractions, there 
is no smallest one... Wrt natural numbers, there is no largest one... 
Got it? It's actually pretty simple... :^)

You seems to suffer from a condition that makes you think "finite" when 
somebody says "all" the unit fractions, or "all" the natural numbers...

Afaict, you have a HYPER finite mind that simply cannot deal with 
infinity in any way, shape or from in the first place... Don't project 
your crippling mind weakness on others? Especially on students! wow. God 
damn man! ;^o
