The first time you are choosing between three doors so you have a 1/3 chance of winning. When the host eliminates a door you are choosing between two so you have a 50% chance. Therefore you should always switch.

I went to the store yesterday, my purchase after tax was $0.99

I gave the cashier a dollar. He gave me nothing in return

I said "Why don't I get a penny?"

He said "0.99 is the same as 1"

Oh okay then

If you were right, then we'd see this pattern.

1/3= .333333~
2/3= .666666~
3/3= .999999~

But 3/3 = 1.

Therefore .9999~ = 1.

Witchcraft. Burn him at the stake.

let x = 0.999....
10x = 9.999...
10x - x = 9.999... - 0.999...
9x = 9
x = 1

@TreyFlowers @RedWhiteBlue @MabusIncarnate @Darkrobotisback @totalnerdken

and before you go refuting that, type 8/9 into your calculator. You get 0.88888.....

Let x = 0.888...
10x = 8.888...
10x - x = 8.888.... -0.888...
9x = 8
x = 8/9

type 21/37 into your calculator. You get 0.567567567567... or, 0.567... (a repeating sequence of 3 digits rather than 1 digit, so we multiply by 1000 rather than 10 in the next step)

let x = 0.567...
1000x = 567.567567567...
1000x - x = 567.567567567 - 0.567567567
999x = 567
x = 567/999
x = 21/37

what if I don't want to let x = 0.999...? I like my x being just a letter in the alphabet, I don't need it doing other stuff on the side >:(
