Let x be the biggest number. There's a problem, because let y=x+1 and y
is bigger than x.

Solution: "x+1" is an incorrect question in the same way that the
question: "What time it is (yes or no)?" is unsolvable because it is
incorrect.

Anyone besides Jack can answer this question correctly:
"Can Jack correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question?"
Any number besides y can answer this question correctly
"Is this number bigger than x?"
y cannot answer this question because it is self-contradictory. The
question cannot possibly have any right answer so it is an incorrect
question. Many great mathematicians agree with me.

So, you're Jack? I suggest you don't know Jack.

Thus, he might reframe your question, having, "Consider this formation
of a question, and deliberately detail its construals, relating vagaries
of impredicativity or absurdam statically or in closed form, and otherwise
detailing how the asker or answerer could either interpret it both ways."

Jack, Spratt, could eat no fat, ....

Anyways though "infinity" in the common usage is "what would be the biggest number",
or, later, "what are all the numbers". I.e. it's first.

Answering question words, ....

It's one thing to be quite too clever, another to think others aren't.
It's often simply tolerated because, you know, better than usual stupid.
But, it's not a full dialectic.

Anyways your making nonsense of it is considered sort of,
conducive to rejection.
