If I give you the entire real line except the point at zero, what will you pick? Whatever you decide on, there will always be a number closer to zero then that.

I guess I can pick another number x to be closest to but it has the same problem unless I can guarantee it's in the set. And successfully picking a number in the set is the problem to begin with! Foiled again!
