Exactly, why should anybody read all of that without even them reading what they pasted firstly.

I mean look at this particular sentence he pasted.



I mean what the fuck does 15:04, 15 August 2009 suppose to mean anyway? I could never understand the concept based upon that theory about whatever that means. That confused me to heights way beyond Balakain's imagination. I just can't believe the transendence of the conversatory ritual that was supposedly pasted onto that curriculum found its way into the confines of this coordinates without the adequate permission of the original thread poster.


To sum this up, you are saying some children should be left behind correct?

0.99999... recurring does = 1 because another way to say it is 1-∞/1 (one minus infinity over 1) which = 0 since no such fraction exists, therefore 1-0=1 Proof.

0.333 infinitely recurring is not a rounded value for 1/3, it is exactly 1/3.
0.666 infinitely recurring is not a rounded value for 2/3, it is exactly 2/3.
0.999 infinitely recurring is not a rounded value for 3/3, it is exactly 3/3.
And to argue that 3/3 does not equal 1 would be incorrect.

Why would that be incorrect?

one could argue that our number system is imperfect, and that this example arises from this imperfection
