If you give me a finite list of numbers, I can spot the one from your list that's

nearest to 20.

But out of the whole universe of numbers, there's no such thing as one that's

nearest to 20.

If you walk in with a number which you claim is the nearest possible one to 20,

I can always find a different number that's nearer to 20 than yours is. All I need

to do is:

-- Find the difference between your number and 20.

-- Take any number that's smaller than that difference.

-- Add it to 20.

-- Voila ! Nearer than yours.
