Nah. I think this is something that can be quickly solved once you have the right theoretical groundwork. It just takes some higher level math. Probabilities with infinity are fun to consider. Like, if I randomly generated a number in the set of all real numbers, the odds of me picking any specific number is effectively 0% but the odds of me picking a number at all is a true 100%. The odds of me picking any kind of rational number is also effectively 0% so I'm infinitely more likely to pick an irrational number.

I'm assuming if I wanted to go into complex numbers, similar logic would lead me to believe I'd pick a complex number with both parts irrational. Though, as always, the specific number I pick would effectively have a 0% probability.

Also, still discussing this with my math professor. He misunderstood the concept of the question. He's the super nerdy type that pals around campus in Hawaiian shirts and will play people blind in chess while watching tv in the other room and win. So I trust he can help me understand this. xD;;
