Re: .999~ = 1

while we're bending the rules of mathematics, how about this one?

1 = 1

-1 = -1

-1/1 = -1/1

-1/1 = -1/1(-1/-1)

-1/1 = 1/-1

(-1/1)^.5 = (1/-1)^.5

((-1)^.5) / (1^.5) = (1^.5) / ((-1)^.5)
cross multiply, and you get

((-1)^.5) * ((-1)^.5) = (1^.5) * (1^.5)

-1 = 1

discuss that one why don't ya
