A and B both pick a random integer separately. What is the probability that A and B end up with the same integer?

Since the number of integers is infinite, the probability that A and B end up with the same integer is infinitely small. lim 1/x, x--> infinity = 0, so the probability is 0.

But it is possible that A and B end up with the same integer. As such, should we conclude that "probability = 0" and "cannot taking place" are not mutually exclusive events?
