Illuminator

The proof saying that 1/3 is .333~ and therefore 3/3 is .999~ is completely hokey. You shouldn't even be allowed to perform or even assume direct operations on infinite expansions.

You built your pedestal on what someone else said was law, when I can see you haven't bullheadedly wrapped your mind around it. There's a lot you will miss.

But if you're so high above arguing and happy to tell me so, then demonstrate it and be the first to shut the fuck up.

So a discrepancy of 25 dmg sparked a nerd number fight?

I seen a dude recite out to the 25000th place of Pi strictly from memory on the boob tube once. I know I felt smarter just watching it. Back to the rather pointless discussion at hand I reckon.

no one can find me a link to the 10pageish paper on why 1+1=2? i think that would help this argument

if boob tube=tv, i doubt it was real, dont believe everything on tv

Both 1/3 and 0.333~ are real numbers, and equal. Any operation you can perform on one can be performed on the other, as any real number can be operated upon. The results will be equal. There is no way that cannot be true.

If 0.333~ + 0.333~ can become 0.666~, then how can 0.666~ + 0.333~ not become 0.999~ but instead become 1? The other way around is equally absurd, because 2/3 + 1/3 = 1, and it is the same exact operation on the same exact numbers. Fact is, it becomes both, as both are the same.

This is how the real number system works. Deal with it.

If by interesting, you mean proving that Illuminator doesn't agree that .999...=1, and thereby is a retard. Then yes.

well its like saying that 0.000... isn't 0 lol

Although one could argue that in reality zero cannot exist!

No, 1=2, everyone knows this:

a = b
a^2 = a*b
a^2-b^2 = a*b-b^2
(a+b)(a-b) = b(a-b)
(a+b) = b
a+a = a
2a = a
2 = 1
