Talking .999~ = 1

ok, bear in mind you need to comprehend at least 8th grade math to understnd this(stolen from LUE on gamefaqs.com quite some time ago, but good for conversation)


1/3 =.333~
2/3 =.666~
.333~+.666~=.999~
1/3 + 2/3 = 1
.999~=1

or

.999~=1
x = .999
10x= 9.999~
9x = 9
x=1
1=.999~

discuss.
