Isn't mathematics wonderful?
CODE Let c = 0.999...
10c = 9.999... 10c - c = 9.999... - 0.999... 9c = 9 c = 1 |

I asked the local mathemagicians of the school about it.
It wasn't to my surprise that they actually knew quite a bit about it.  They showed me a couple of ways to prove it. I got kind of confused.
