Poor Finitists Meet Infinite Questions
The mathematical paradox that breaks brains! A finitist claims there are only finitely many natural numbers, then gets stumped when asked to specify exactly how many. That's like saying "I have a limited number of excuses for not doing my homework" but can't tell the teacher exactly how many! The punchline is in the angry stare—because the question exposes the logical contradiction. Natural numbers (1,2,3...) are literally infinite by definition, making finitism the mathematical equivalent of bringing a spoon to a black hole fight. Pure mathematical self-destruction in four panels!
