Excuse my ignorance. I've just read a bit on the topic on wikipedia. I'm mostly confused now. :) Most reals famously don't even have a finite description. So I have a hard time understanding how these questions even relate to those reals. If only I had more time. This looks cool.

so, being honest with you - you can do just fine with these problems if you don't think of them as anything more than binary strings, i.e. you don't think of them as reals. >.< I'm very sorry if I've caused confusion...

I think this is a case where being mathematicians, we state something to avoid confusion later, but instead cause even more confusion at the start. We're rather good at that...
