rational number
Yes.
There is no such number. If any number laid claim to being the smallest rational number its claim could be challenged by half that number - which would also be rational and, obviously smaller. And the claim of that number could be challenged by half that number, and so on.
I am rational, but not a number. This statement is therefore half correct.
Yes.
Yes.
