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...

Logic is flawed. 1/3 doesn't equal 0.33, but its the closest thing we can mathematically get to one third.

1/3 * 3 = 3/3.
0.33 *3 = 0.99

3/3 = 1.

Proof is flawed.

You were right.
It's cursed like mummies. They rise from the dead when intruders infiltrate.

my logic is not flawed, you're a dumbass...

1/3 is not an 'answer' you still can divide...

1/3 = .3333...

.333... x 3 = .999...

the ... means goes on FOREVER

stupid people make the world turn...

1/3 * 3 = 3/3.
0.33 *3 = 0.99

3/3 = 1.

Proof is flawed.

I can't be bothered repeating myself 10 times, but basically I will prove you wrong with this:
x = 0.999...
10x = 9.999...
10x - x = 9
9x / 9 = 1
x = 1
Another proof is that any two numbers should have a number inbetween, such as their average.
Name 1 number inbetween 0.999... and 1.
