  • # [J](https://jsoftware.com/#/), ~~4~~ 3 distinct, ~~4~~ 5 bytes
  • ```J
  • %#_ _
  • ```
  • ~~Half (`-:`) of the sign (`*`) of infinity (`_`).~~
  • Reciprocal of the number of items in the given vector (2 infinities). This might be the winner for J.
  • # [J](https://jsoftware.com/#/), ~~4~~ 3 distinct, 6 bytes
  • ```J
  • -:_-:_

  • Half of `_ -: _` which is asks if infinity matches infinity. Thanks to @xash in the APL farm discord for saving the 3 unique bytes and orthoplex for catching my blunder.
