What is that???

Hey if you're having logon problems, it could be because of a proxy... It was happening to me, since I had Google Web Accelerator on.

wierd... that mathematical problem just changed everything i thought i knew.

I have to disagree with this because, 0.3333... is 1/3 . so 3*0.33333... would equil .9999999. which goes on for ever. making it impossible to correctly calculate so it is truncated to 1.

It's not impossible to calculate. It can be calculated with limits, a process of calculus, to be exactly equal to 1.

Nope, it's my shitty ISP.
I have a worse problem on the WoW Forums, I can't even log in right. As for the fix to it that I found, doesn't work with my ISP. Yayyy!

Wtf m7.9 repeating?

lolfulzorzomg, m7.9!

Anyways, 0.9 is exactly equal to 1.
So yeah.

ahhhhhhh! thiis knowledge made me temporarily insane, and i nailed 0.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 pieces of toast to my forehead.

Yeah. So 9.9999999999999999... =10. Pretty funny.

0.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 != 1.

Well, that's that!


Topic Closed (Sorta)

I like 1.9 sk7.9 3.9wards. Backwards sk7.9ing is not so 0.9derful. Ade8.9 is a nitrogenous base.

Whatever happened to 9.9zing?

What do you mean?!?

I understood but what is tenzing?

Tenzing was around back in the olden days of KL.

Haha, decode that

grrr... i got sucked in

Here's a hint: one of the operations is actually part of a letter, and not actually meant to be done.

not to bring this subject back or any thing but line 3 is screwed up!

Noh it ain't.

Let's laugh at the foolish person's foolishness.
Hah. Hah. Hah hah hah.

Now that's not very nice!

And no, there is nothing screwed up about line 3.

never mind
my computer sucks
some of the symbols are rectangles instead of whatever they were so I was guessing what they were

But... there aren't even any unusual symbols. Unless your browser/OS is rendering it as some foreign language?

Thats probably what my google translator is doing.
I just deleted that and now its working

Which one?

There is no false indicator. Algebraicly .99999999999... is equal to one.
think about this.

.00000...1 terminates therefore it is not equal to zero, but for every zero in the "elipses" you get closer and closer to zero. Therefore you cannot prove its value to be anything!
So you can claim .9999999999999... to be =1,
but you can't prove anything

Yeah you can. With 0.01, there's an infinite chain of zeros that come before the one. Say your teacher tells you, "Yeah, you can graduate. But first you have to complete an infinite number of homework assignments." So does graduation ever really come? No, so in the same way, the "1" at the end of an infinite string of zeros past the decimal point, does not really exist.

Also, you can prove its value to be something. Remember when I brought up calculus and limits? Yeah.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_series
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_%28mat...Infinite_series
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999...

It's actually quite easy to prove.
0.01 = lim as x->0+ (x) = 0
I win.

most of the stuff provided in the .99999...=1 solution is not needed

Another proof is that there is a law that states there is an infinite amount of numbers between any two different numbers. However, there are no different numbers between .9 repeating and 1, therefore they are the same number.

Liking my new bbcodes?

0.9 = √25 - 2²

Combining them becomes a bit problematic, though.

2 = 3√3² - 0.037*3³

ooooh ahhhhhhhh

Dude, stop spamming.
