I think people on DDF are too free with their "+"s. There are many numbers between 1 and 10, and even more between 10 and 100.
OT: which punctuation mark really belongs between "10, and"?

it's a good thing you ended your 9s. Because a repeating decimal of 9s equals 1

Well I didn't want to keep my finger on the 9 forever....

Did you ever wonder about this?

1/9 = .11111111...
2/9 = .22222222...
etc etc
8/9 = .88888888...
but 9/9 = 1?

Yes. I remember arguing with my 8th grade math teacher over this one

Story:
An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one asks for a pint of beer. The second one asks for half a pint. The third one asks for a quarter pint.
"I get it", says the bartender, and pours out 2 pints of beer.

Why is it that in 2014 I still can't email documents to a government office? Seriously is the government the only organization in America still using fax?

[aygart]

For two values to be different there needs to be a difference (as in subtraction). Since there is nothing you can subtract from one to make a repeating decimal of 9s they must be equal.

They have been trying to for the past few years, but the paper lobby is slowing it down.

Snail mail I can handle, at least I have a mail man coming to my house every day, who has a fax machine these days?
