But I do. All are insufficient. Have you thought about the following number: (69^69^6969^696969^69696969^6969696969)+1 This is a number, just for men: https://youtu.be/rVtHrgdcvZA ;^) > >> but your claim doesn't match your conclusion, as the union of *ALL* >> the FISIONs will reach the size of the Natural Numbers, even though no >> finite subset reaches a measurable percentage of it. >> > How do they do it?
