I don't understand. 1+0 = 1 therefore I calculated the real number "1".

@irishmolly72 NP... this is only where I could tell you. Doesn't matter - you have a real life.

@irishmolly72 Did I miss your profession - in the mathematical sciences?

Indeed

It’s one of those interesting quirks of probability

The set of computable numbers is real tiny compared to the set of all real numbers. The chance is hell of lot lower than picking the winning lotto number, but it's not zero.

@Northwest It actually looks s 0. The set of calculate-able numbers is countable. And the measure of a countable set is 0. Thus the chance to pick such a number is 0.
