Yes, Adrian... we get the concept I think. The concept is to attach an additional 0 every single time you raise a nine. The .1 was the start with .9, and no matter how far you go back with the nines (Infinitely, you never end the nines), the 0's will match every digit of nines you put in your equation, and still have that 1 following all of them.
Simple: you must add a .repetitive0-1 to make your .9repetitive equal to one. You are infinitely adding 9's, but you will never reach one, no matter how many 9s you add. Add them to kingdom come and you still don't have one. That is the point... you will be infinitely getting CLOSER to one... but you will NEVER reach it.
This can be represented by a very simple graph, I'll show you it when I find it. It curves ever closer to the line of one, but it never hits it.
Mathematically, your formula looks like this: O.9(infinite) + 0.0(infinite)1 = 1.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
