personally, I am of the school of thought that .9999ect is 1, there is no difference. But some disagree. Honestly, I don't care. It's a frikkin number.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

i knew that. it is a mathematical fact.



 

1) Well, not really, it's just an error that comes from using the decimal system. No system if perfect, as fractions can often look messy and it's sometimes confusing when working with multiple fractions (Anybody know's how to multiply two decimal numbers, fractions are not as simple).

2) That's what microwaves were invented for.



Interesting fact.........

It works with fractions, not decimals.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

1+1 still equals 2 right?




I use to beleive math was perfect in every aspect. I mean 2+2 is always 4 no matter how you put it

^_^

2 + 2 != 4
