Dude, if I were any more ****ing romantic I'd have to buy a hotel to house kids .. well, either, that or get better at protection.
I've got the sweeping them off their feet down.. I may fail in other areas of life, but not there.

If it's hard do it hard. It's easy to be romantic in the lean times, haha.
Guilty.

Okay, I'll give you a real math question (that requires no advanced knowledge to prove). One Brow, this isn't intended for you. So give others a chance.
The number 0.999999...
A) Has precisely the same value as 1.
B) Is less than 1 by a infinitely small amount.
C) There is no way to answer this question conclusively.
And explain your answer.

Most would say B but I suppose C is correct as it is tough answer conclusively based on its' unknown context. For example, in areas of science where math may be a specific known quantity, to say it is an infinitely small amount could be understating the difference in value between 0.999999999999... and 1.0000000000000...
Perhaps I'm overthinking this though.
B - I don't have any long explanation. It just seems obvious on the surface. I'm not certain one could say .99999999999999999999 is exactly the same as 1 .. but I could see someone saying they're virtually the same number if the .999's go on infinitely .. then there's no end, therefore making it nearly impossible to say just how short of 1 the number comes .. it's inifinitely small.
A and B
I would say the answer isn't given.
It would be a 33% chance.
You only truly have 3 choices: 25%, 50%, and 60%.
But there is no real correct answer because of the logical paradox.

A much easier question below.
The way I think of it is
1/9 = .11111...
1/9 * 9 = 1
.11111... * 9 = .99999...
.99999... = 1
As for why subtracting something infinitely small doesn't alter the value, call it a educated guess. Unless you subtract an infinite number of infinitely small amounts. But I'm no expert on "infinitely small". Trout is probably your man there.
That's correct. The answer is A. There is no difference between 1 and 0.9999...
Your proof is good. The one I usually give is this:
1/3 = 0.333...
Multiplying each by 3 would give either:
(1/3)*3= 3/3=1
or
0.333...*3= 0.999...
The two are completely identical. The number 0.999... can be represented by the infinite sequence [(9/10)+(9/100)+(9/1000)....] Where each item represent a decimal spot. The series adds up to 1.
Or said another way, PKM >>>>>>>>>>> Trout.
If we're talking body fat, hair loss, or lack of testicular fortitude, then you would be correct.
