a Number can only be that number, no matter what it is.

no mater how many .999's -> you go it will never = the number 1 , ever...

Well what is 1 minus 0.000_inifinite_001?

If 0.999 = 1 then you can take an infinitely minute number away from one and still have one? I'd sya no they are not equal. Not a math whizz or anything, the place where your logic seems flawed to me is 1/3 = 0.333__ because they are not technically equal, in the same way that 0.999__ and 1 arn't.

Except .999 repeated isn't a specific number. Well, it is. It's 1.

"0.000_inifinite_001"
That is invalid. You cannot have ANYTHING after infinity. Its infinite, you cannot just add on some numbers at the end, because it has no end.

Atleast here its under 50%. I hope it would be.. since math is a big part of poker

This is silly.

.9999999999 ---> infinity is the number just below 1.

No number or amount is between them, but neither is the same.

I think the real question is:

What does LMK stand for?

Actully because there is no number between .9~ and 1, they are the same

I had "Lick My " and then couldn't figure out what K stood for.
