This doesn’t seem odd to me at all.

It is technically completely impossible to guess the number a person is thinking.
Since there’s an infinitive amount of numbers, the odds that you’ll guess the correct number randomly is 1/infinity. Therefore rendering it impossible.
Trippy.
1. This is not the correct usage of the word infinitive. Not even close. You mean infinite. An infinitive is a verb which (at least when talking about the English language) is unconjugated and usually preceded by the particle “to”.
2. Even assuming that people thought of numbers in an evenly distributed set, 1/∞ is not 0, and therefore it would not be impossible.
3. The assumption in #2 is a stupid one to make. People are predictable, and significantly more likely to think of “3” than, say “82,315,645,642,348,442,642,687”.
