DrMcCoy Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 My former math teacher would so kill you, Joshi, for using infinity in an equation...
Fealiks Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Ok, clever clogs, what does 0.999(9) equal?
RicardoLuigi... Posted September 1, 2006 Author Posted September 1, 2006 it actually equals 1. if you do that whole multiply by 10 thing and then subtract them from each other and whatnot. i learned that sophomore year and i was like....whooaoaaooaooaoaooooooaoaaaaaa......
Ray Jones Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Ok, clever clogs, what does 0.999(9) equal? it actually equals 1. Wrong. There is no such mathematical term like 0.999(9). In "theory" it would equal 3*0.333(3), which equals 3*(1/3) which equals 1. My former math teacher would so kill you, Joshi, for using infinity in an equation... Even worse. According to Joshi's misled understanding of infinity, infinity=0. This means he has just created an the runtime error: division by 0! (TUUM-TUUUMMMM-TUUUUUMMMM!!!!) On the other hand, and according to my perfect understanding of the infinity issue, im totally fine with this equation. .. Ooooops, looks like I've just created some kind of paradox im my head. -Poof!-
Alien426 Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Why should 0.999(9) equal anything but 0.999(9)?
Ray Jones Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 That would be another question, and a good one, btw.
Fealiks Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Wrong. There is no such mathematical term like 0.999(9). In "theory" it would equal 3*0.333(3), which equals 3*(1/3) which equals 1. Yeah, but I was hoping Joshi would get it... Because everyone knows Joshi is quite the mathematician ¬¬

Joshi Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Even worse. According to Joshi's misled understanding of infinity, infinity=0. This means he has just created an the runtime error: division by 0! (TUUM-TUUUMMMM-TUUUUUMMMM!!!!) On the other hand, and according to my perfect understanding of the infinity issue, im totally fine with this equation. .. Okay, at what point, ever did I say infinity = 0? Our entire argument originated from that equation I posted above which simply suggests what is written.
Ray Jones Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Hm. I never read you posts, Neil, I just state things about you I simply made up to make you look stupid. Here's the thread in question, just in case anybody wants to know how smartclever wI am. And again..it's all Zoom's fault!! *onf*
Joshi Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 By reading that post, I think we can safely say my Theory decided to go down hill when Zoom first replied after my "theory". But now i have a new theory, Ray is phychic: joshi.. it's not that i understand every of your posts.. .. but what can i say.. nothing? Posted before I came up with my theory...
Joshi Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 His last post was on a thread he started on these boards which proved categorically that there are no females on this board
Ray Jones Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 He sleep's with your sister, McCoy. Or Neil's. Or any random sister. No, seriously, right now, he's doing his sister.
