[split] 0.999... equals 1

[leo-rcc]

I really do wonder...if the maths already proves itself, why is it so hard for some people to accept? :S

Part of me wonders if it's not so much a lack of understanding the math but inability concede the argument. *shrugs*

Okay that is not fair. She is in the exact same state as I am, there have been a lot of figures thrown around but none of them have even remotely convinced me in the slightest that a value less than 1 equals 1.

0.3r is not 1/3, it is an approximation as close to 1/3 you can get in decimals. 0.1r is not 1/9 in decimals but an approximation. If you then start to calculate with those figures as being accurate, you get errors.

If these are the proofs you all hang on to fine, I won't argue them. But because I do not accept the proofs laid before me because I question the methodology used that is not the same as an inability to concede an argument.
