Create a method to choose a random integer between 0 and infinity such that no integer is more likely to be chosen than any other.

Yes it is possible, I don't care what your probability book says (Notice I didn't even use the word "probability").  You may assume the axiom of choice.

I don't know if I understand.  In the third line, what's w or "f(i)(x)".  F is going to have higher cardinality than the reals, so if the "c" in the first line is the complex numbers, there is no such bijection.

You can't do the coin flip thing, since you're not guaranteed to ever get a finite number.  At some point, you'd have to have chosen a finite number of digits, and get nothing but zeros from then on.



I'll post the answer later today.  If you want a hint, look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitali_set
