Unsugarized_Foo 11/14/17 5:04:27 PM #14:	Just using this logic: If .999... = .999...998 = 1, then that would mean that there is no number small enough to add to .999...998 in order to make it .999... To do this, lets add the smallest number which is .0...1, add it to .999... and .999...998. so we have .999... + .0...1 = 1 then .999...998... +.0...1 = .999... Since we know .999... = 1, then adding the smallest number to each number has given us the same number. Therefore .999...998 is equal to .999..., which is also equal to 1 Its simple Mathmemeatics --- "All I have is my balls and my word, and I don't break them for anyone!"-Tony Montana <cite>Unsugarized_Foo posted [p:890390219] in If .999......
