Geek Blog – Crazy, Crazy Maths


We all know the romance of √3.  I just found out that 0.999… = 1 (also mentioned on Wikipedia).  But were you aware that 7×13=28?  More on the 0.999… after the jump.

Thanks, YT User ajnabimain69 for posting this video!

Before there are any comments to the contrary, I urge you to check the hyperlinks above and really think about your post before you click “submit”.

⅓ = 0.333…
3 (⅓) = 3 (0.333…)
1 = 0.999…

… AND…

X = 0.999…
10X = 9.999…
10X – X = 9.999… – 0.999…
9X = 9
X = 1

Q.E.D.
