expand p until we find a sequence of 100 successive 0's let this happen at the nth digit.

then up till n is identical with p

if n is odd let terminate at the nth digit < p

if n is even let have a 1 in the (n + 1)th place > p . Consider the number Q where

Q = - p .

Is Q positive, zero, negative?

Constructionalists say that none is true. Q will be ?????

at such time that someone determines which in this case
