Re: Ok, this does not make sense....

You'd need a more formal definition of floor before you can prove or disprove anything. The formal definition of floor is: floor(x) is equal to the largest integer less than or equal to x.

You've already proven that .999... = 1, so 1 is the largest integer less than or equal to .999... and everything works out. Confusion only comes when you use the informal definition of ignoring everything after the decimal point.
