Fontem paginae Infinitum uno addito inspicere

'''Infinitas + 1''' est [[locutio]] vel [[cogitatio]] faceta, saepe adhibita a pueribus et puellis, qui [[infinitas|infinitatem]] nondum plene intellegunt, ut significent sententiam vel quantitatem "maiorem quam maximam".

Saepe sermonem quasi hunc pueri interdicunt, se provocantes:
:''Puer 1: "Te provoco ..!"''
:''Puer 2: "[[Duo|Bis]] provoco ..!"''
:''Puer 1: "[[Tres|Ter]] provoco ..!"''
:''Puer 2: "Te provoco [[millio|decies milies centies]] ..!"''
:''Puer 1: "Te provoco [[infinitas|infinities]]..!"''
:''Puer 2: "Te provoco '''infinities et semel'''..!"''

Tamen in rebus [[mathematica|mathematicis]],:3. <Math> (-\infty) + x = -\infty \,</math>, ergo <Math> (-\infty) + 1 = -\infty \,</math>, ita sententia "infinitum uno addito" inanes voces sunt.
