this one's easy and totally visual once you know the answer...
what is 90 degrees from infinity?

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of finding a point that is 90 degrees from infinity in complex space, with the answer being +/- infinity*i. The conversation also includes hints and jokes about the answer being smaller than 10 and involving rotation. One possible solution is 8, which can be rotated 90 degrees to represent infinity.

highlight to read (its in LemonChiffon)
+/- infinity*i in complex space.

while that may be entirely correct, and to some, easy, that's not something I can even understand. No, it's much easier than that. ;)
Don't overthink this one, the answer smaller than you think

If you draw a coordinate axis, like Y vs X but label the axis as "i" for y, and "1" for x, then you have the complex plane. a 90 degree rotation from positive infinity would be my previous answer.
Im stil ltrying to think of what you're answer is... I know I should approach it as a riddle rather than a math problem :(

Relax, the answer is under 10 ;)
and yeah, that's a huge hint

I found one answer
90 degrees=90°=\frac{\pi}{2} radians (I hope u see where the infinite comes from)...
And is roughly 1.57<10.
Daniel.
Very curious for another answer...

How about
[tex] \arctan \infty =90deg [/tex]
[tex] \arctan \infty =90deg [/tex]

You win. The answer is 8. Rotate 8 90 degrees right or left and you have
[tex] \infty [/tex]

He didnt win! He was just doing math!
I see what you mean though.

What did the number 0 say to the number 8?

FAQ: What Do Numbers Tell Each Other in a Joke?
What are infinite possibilities?
Infinite possibilities refer to the concept that there is an endless number of potential outcomes or choices in any given situation.
How do we know if infinite possibilities exist?
There is no definitive way to prove that infinite possibilities exist, but based on our current understanding of the universe and the constant discovery of new information and possibilities, it is likely that there are endless possibilities for any given scenario.
Can we access or explore infinite possibilities?
As a scientist, it is important to approach this question from a logical and evidence-based perspective. While we may never be able to explore or access every single possibility, we can use scientific methods and experimentation to uncover and understand a vast number of possibilities.
How does the concept of infinite possibilities relate to the multiverse theory?
Some scientists and theorists believe that the concept of infinite possibilities supports the idea of a multiverse, where there are multiple parallel universes with different versions of reality and infinite variations of our own universe.
Are there any limitations to infinite possibilities?
While the idea of infinite possibilities may seem limitless, there are still certain physical and scientific laws that govern our universe and may limit the potential outcomes. Additionally, our own perceptions and biases may also limit the possibilities we see or consider.
