If I use your $100 bill as an example of your wierd logic. If I snip a part off and leave 0.99999999999999999999...... remaining of the bill then the bill isn't a whole is it?

If I cut off 1 degrees off a circle making the revolution only 359 degrees then the circle isn't whole isn't it? Which then we'd use the dimensioning in radius. Only use diameter if the circle is a full revolution of 360 degrees.

Even if the slightest of pieces of something is taken off then that entire thing isn't a whole anymore. Your body isn't a whole because you snip off your hair and finger nails. You yourself aren't 1, you are more like .9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999...


A bill is worth 1 dollar if it is 2/3 in tact. Thus .99999 rep of a dollar is = 1 dollar

So therefore 0.99999... = 1

With regards to your bill thing. I heard that as long as the number on the bill is visible the bill is legible.

Edit: Look at Kah4Prez's sig with the dollar bill you can see the unique number it has in the middle. As long as it has that the bill is usable.

so 2/3 must be equal to 1 also?? caan someone explain...? If a didgit equals one that is not 1 than how canthis be? surely others can too/

wow 2 people respond, and 2 people have a limited understanding of our mathematics...

what does 1/3 = ??????

ok now take 1/3 and x 3 = 1

1/3 = ????????

now multiply ????????? x 3 and what do u get?


.99999999...

there is my first fast proof...


technically. (1/3) * 3 = .99999999999 in decimal.

in fractions (1/3) * 3 = 1 because (3/3) is the same as 3 divided by 3 which equals one.

So it depends on what form you are using.

That's actually a good question.
Reminds me of an old riddle I heard:
Nothing is better than a Roles Royce.
My bike is better than nothing.
Therefore, my bike is better than a Roles Royce.

I mean although your logic makes sense, it just doesn't work if you think about it. 2/3 simply does not equal 1, despite it's equivalency and legitimacy to use as a $1 bill.

still thread still going ??
shit how retarded.

if 0.9999 =1

then 0.9999 wouldnt exist, it would just be 1.


btw i think just is a troll topic.

technically no
but the different is so insignificant that we consider them to be equal in calculations

What is the difference between 0.999... and 1?
If it was 0.99 then the difference would be 0.01, if it was 0.99999 then the difference would be 0.00001, but if it is 0.999... then the difference must be 0.000... 1 of which case the 1 never occurs after an infinite number of 0's so there is 0 difference between 0.999... and 1 which means they both must be the same number.
Discuss.
