0.99999... is equal to 1, then 0.999999...8 is equal to 0.99999... and 0.9999999...7 is equal to 0.999999...6 etc etc etc until 1 = 0! Holy shit!
Or we could just admit that using a tool incorrectly produces idiotic results.
Man, thats the sort of reasoning everybody could think is true
Only fault with it being you cant have such a no as 0.999.......8/7/6
because you dont know the exact position at with the 8 would be there
Since it needs to be followed by infinite no of 9s, so you can never place an 8 there
You can do this only if you have finite no of 9s and then that no!=1
and thats why 1!=0 (move the ! by a few places to get it right:) )
