The Infinite Job Interview Paradox

The Infinite Job Interview Paradox

The eternal mathematical war zone! Infinity plus infinity is the kind of problem that turns mild-mannered mathematicians into raging debate monsters. Technically, ∞ + ∞ = ∞ in standard mathematics because infinity isn't a number but a concept representing unboundedness. BUT WAIT! In transfinite set theory, different sizes of infinity exist (like ℵ₀ for countable infinity), and adding them follows specific cardinal arithmetic rules. The interviewer clearly wants to watch this poor job candidate spiral into mathematical existential crisis. Diabolical! This is basically the mathematical equivalent of asking "Does P equal NP?" during a coding interview and expecting a coherent answer.
