Actually yes I have because I am accelerating in year 11 subjects.
And the fact that I chose to complete school and finish year 10, 11 and 12 doesn't make me any worse than someone who decided to drop out of school and start doing a TAFE/University course.
What you are saying is that you think that every year 11 is smarter than a year 10 and every year 10 is smarter than a year 9 student.
I'm sorry, but it just doesn't work that way.

EDIT: Btw, you must go to a pretty shit university if they tell you there that 0.999... does not equal 1.


First off, I'm not claiming that:

1. 0.999... =/= 1, when the fructose did I ever say that?
2. That I actually go to University. I was using that as an example. I am in year 12.

And, for the third time, NO I'm not saying that every year is smarter than the year below it, I'm saying that you don't have the evidence to back up such a ridiculous assumption; "I am probably the best mathematician, philosopher and chess player on jsp."

Even if you did, you would likely find that there are many who outdo you, given that you are only in year 10, and thus have been alive a shorter amount of time in which to ingest knowledge.
Makin' sense now?!

u think .999 = 1

idiot!


No you faggot.

.999 is an exact number.

If you had put down .999........ THAT means infinity. You HAVE TO BE specific when you refer to a number like that.

It will never equal 1, if you always try to reach a whole number just by adding  decimal places, you will never get to 1

Can you take $100 bill and slice it up into pieces and divide them amongst people so they all get $5 each?

um u added an extra digit to one of the sides, while u left the other side w/o it, that isn't good math m8, u can't do equations like that... and the way to do an equation for infinite is to start at .9 and add one digit every time

obviously u need atleast 3 to disprove it and .9 - .999 disprove it

but that's not saying .9999999999999999 will prove it, cuz obv it doesn't cuz disproved already

ur saying .999... in one side and .9999... in the other, that is a different number in an equation m8.

the only reason why some people think .9... = 1 is because all the programs they use aproximate and round, which should not happen, but bad math programs do, because even they can't write out INF

that's because you're a complete idiot and you don't under stand that .999... = 1
