Re: impossible statements

.333333 is not a perfect representation of 1/3. .9999999 is not a perfect representation of 1. However, this is the best way to express 1/3 and 1 (being 3 * 1/3), and this is what is generally accepted, so .999999 = 1 because that's the way we define such decimals even though it's not perfect.
