No you idiot. There is no number inbetween that number you posted up there. Because there is nothing inbetween that means that, that number 0.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999..................................... does equal 1.

0.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999..................................... is between that number

Apparently you did not read my post. I state that 0.999... is equal to one. But it is not one.

That's like saying 1/2 is equal to 0.5, but it is not 0.5.
I'm sorry, but it just is.

0.999... X 2 = 2 ? Seems wrong to me.
