Subject: Re: .99999=1 explanation
If .99999 equals 1, then .99999 + .99999 should equal 2.
Test --
1) .9 + .9 = 1.8
2) .99 + .99 = 1.98
3) .999 + .999 = 1.998
4) .9999 + .9999 = 1.9998
5) .99999 + .99999 = 1.99998
6) .999999 + .999999 = 1.999998
Test complete --
.99999 plus .99999 does not equal 2,
therefore .99999 does not equal 1.
If .99999 equals 1, then .99999 + .99999 + .99999 should equal 3.
Test --
1) .9 + .9 + .9 = 2.7
2) .99 + .99 + .99 = 2.97
3) .999 + .999 + .999 = 2.997
4) .9999 + .9999 + .9999 = 2.9997
5) .99999 + .99999 + .99999 = 2.99997
6) .999999 + .999999 + .999999 = 2.999997
Test complete --
.99999 plus .99999 plus .99999 does not equal 3,
therefore .99999 does not equal 1.
