Are you sure the number of possible expressions is finite? Or is it countably infinite? I could in theory make an arbitrarily long expression out of the four fundamental operators, and because I can derive -1 from a finite set of operations it is possible to derive any integer from any even integer. You can also derive zero from the rules.
