I could make it really confusing and say that .999 is infinity away from 1

.111… becomes 1/9.
.222… becomes 2/9.
.333… becomes 3/9 = 1/3.
.999… becomes 9/9 = 1.

That pic basicly breaks down 9/9 [1] into two numbers, multiplies them together and gets .999...
Thanks for the insight, thats another one of those tricky things that I love figuring out.

I dunno what you people are smoking but since when was 0.111 = 1/9?
It is not, and never will be.

If you still done want more proof, go to the wikipedia link;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.999

These old arguments pop up periodically since time immemorial, simply because proponents try to adopt mathematical treatise to that which are not actual numbers, but concepts.
0, 1, and Infinity are concepts.....states of mathematical absolutes, and there has always been quaint 'mathematics' to demonstrate the 3 states are one and the same...eg. 1 = 0 = Infinity.
It doesn't actually PROVE anything, other than certain people having more time on their hands than is healthy.....

Go ahead and try it, you will get 1 everytime. In fact calculators don't even have .999r programmed into them, go ahead and try whatever you want, you will never be able to get .999r
For even more proof go to the wikipedia link I posted, it talks about people like you and how they don't want to believe it.

Oh come on....if you need to reference/rely on a calculator to interpret your mathematics/logic then there's going to be no point in arguing/debating.
A calculator is a tool, and as mindless as its operator.
Remember...
Some moistened bint ripping a scimitar out of a rock is not a basis for government....

Is that REALLY such a bad thing?

Aye, and if my granny had wheels she'd be a waggon...

Now try to figure this one out. It is true.
Mathematically .999 = 1
