I fear infinity.

Indeed comprehension is good, but it is still hard to believe that .999~ actually equals 1.

Im going to use the knowledge I have obtained in this thread to try to score some bonus points in my AP Probability Class, or in my Pre-Calc class I take next semester.

Sweet... good plan. Hey, if you need more knowledge about the evil known as infinite, you know where you can attempt to find it.

Bwuahah...


*shudders*
I feel like a little hermit in a cave who is hiding from unnecessary knowledge and fears... With my, I hold the weapon to destroy it, but I fear its power... aaaaah!

Ignore that last paragraph if you value your and my sanity.

Your supposed to give us warnings like that BEFORE we read it. *shakes head*

And I'll try to get bonus points with what I know, and if that doesnt work, I'll need to come get some more to baffle my teacher with.

My math class is already hard enough...and now I'm on vacation. I don't feel like thinking about stuff like this...it seriously is making my brain hurt, not to mention that I just woke up.

But it's not just .9999999999..... Anything ending with .9999999999.... would equal the next number (that didn't make sense). Example:
3.99999999999....=4
9.99999999999....=10
2756.99999999....=2757

That's true, because .99(repeated) is equal to one. Therefor 3 + .99(repeated) or... 3.999(repeated) must be equal to 4 (like 3 + 1)
