It so happens that e^(pi*i) = -1...

-2900.

I suggest we only choose integers. This could get bad if decimals are allowed.

And if someone did choose decimals, its rounded off to the number above it.

What about imaginary numbers? Or even better, complex numbers?

I consider imaginary and complex numbers to be the same thing.

Some people would say that i is the only imaginary number, and complex numbers are linear combinations of 1 and i. But then there's quaternions, and octonians (I think that's what they're called) and that throws everything into chaos.

I guess it's a matter of definition. Did you know that negative numbers used to be called "absurd numbers"?

The problem with complex numbers is there is no way to compare them in the general case, much like you cannot compare vectors in the general case. Given z₀, z₁ ∈ ℂ, it is never correct to say z₀ > z₁ , or z₁ > z₀, unless it happens both z₀, z₁ are actually in ℝ.

Therefore, the fact that comparisons have been made comparing real numbers (guesses) to his number, we can be sure his number is in the real numbers, at least.

You could always say higher, and to the right
But I agree that the numbers should be kept in the reals, and probably integers.
