| steven787 said: Menago, I understand. It really comes down to this. If we want to use the representation of .(3) = 1/3, then .(3) + .(3) + .(3) = 1 and not .(9) It can't be both. In the real world a number can't have two values. We have to pick the set of rules ahead of time (in this case: .(3) = 1/3), and justify the rules with other rules (in this case, the value of n). |
You hit the point and yet you miss it ;P.
.(3) +.(3) +.(3)= .(9)= 1 because .(9) is equal to 1. That's why there is no problem, now do you understand my point of view clearly? It's something that i've been taught in math class, so i'm going to be stubborn about this :D
Huh. Who would've thought that beggining anew in my real life would coincide with starting anew on vgchartz?
Any day now, the dollar will be worth less than 2 zloty......any day now.....and my life savings will be in total jepordy ;(.
