Some Infinities are Bigger than Other Infinities

Hello, good day to you all!
I'm really sorry about not posting at all, I'm on vacation.
And now we're out of school, we can post more freely and you know, talk about our interests and discuss random things rather than focus on math.
So hello. It's Strix Spell here. I think Kazuma decided that she does not want to post anymore and Annis might, occasionally. I like to keep a schedule but well, that's near impossible now.
As well as talking about math, we can expand it to some more science as well.
Today, I'm focusing on the popular quote by John Green in his new book The Fault in Our Stars which I read and I'm going to review in my other blog.
Anyway, the quote is: "Some infinities are bigger than other infinities."
The thing about infinity, it is endless. It goes on and never stops, like a set of numbers (1,2,3,4...) So how are some infinities bigger than other infinities?
Hazel incorrectly explains it as: the set of numbers between 0 to 1 is a smaller infinity than the set of numbers between 0 and 2. While that is untrue, the statement some infinities are bigger than other infinities is still true.

That video explains a lot better than I can. But, if you are too lazy to watch the video, here is a random summary. While the set of numbers between 0 and 1 is the same number as the set of numbers between 0 and 2, we know that the set of numbers between 0 and 1 is bigger than the set of positive integers (1,2,3,4...). 
Okay, I can't explain so haha! You have to watch the video to understand. 
Anyway, basically, what I am trying to point out is that some infinities are bigger than other infinities. Yay!

Goodbye Answers

The answer key, also known as Tricky and Twisted Math has been reverted to draft because Kazuma, Annis, and I are doing a class thing and we need the students to figure it out on their own rather than cheat so, sorry!

Quick Scheduling Change!

If you haven't noticed, we are trying to post every day. Since we don't have much information on, we will try to have at least three posts every day (one from Annis, Kazuma, and Strix). We apologize for the confusion.

Why are Pages Disappearing?

So, you may have noticed that earlier, two pages: Amazing Math Facts and Math on the Timeline disappeared. Ok, well, we have decided that we are all going to post on the main blog as it is kind of hard to draft posts and have older/newer buttons on a page. I'm sure you all hate scrolling down.
So, sorry for any confusion.
By the way, Kazuma is writing the answers to the questions, not Annis. That was a mixup as well.
So, have fun!
Remember, we post every day so do not forget to check out what's going on every day! If you are too lazy to check the website every day, follow us with your email! Simply enter your email and you will get an email whenever one of us posts which is, every day.
Sorry for being redundant. We need pageviews at least, Annis and I live on pageviews.

Proper Real Post #1

Ok, sorry for earlier, we had just created the site and we were feeling deliriously happy. So, anyway, I'm Strix Spell, I'm an administrator for this site. I will keep you posted on what goes on in the math world, complete with opinion on everything. I will be posting on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays because Annis won't let me post every day.
Kazuma will be posting on Thursdays and Fridays. "He" will post some facts on math as well as a riddle on math at the end of each week.
Annis is posting on the new developments (without opinion) and the history of math on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Any questions? Ask away!

UPDATE: ok, I figured it out with the other admins and I'm posting about math, the two sides of the terms, why they are good and why they are bad.
