Everything I knew was wrong.

thank you, so much, for dredging up those long buried feelings of adolescent 'new math' angst.
love you too.
Fucking transitive property will get you every time.
Thank God I've just smoked up cause this all makes perfect sense. I passed grade 13 math because I smoked up then too.
Okay....
I suppose the validity of that rests upon what you decide your parameters for "true" are, though? If you're a more exact sort of person and don't choose to round, then 0.999... is not the same as 1. If they were the same, then why would one of them even exist? Why would we differentiate between partiality and whole?
Wikipedia can be SO ridiculous.
"Why wouldn't we choose to differentiate" is what I meant to say.
My head hurts.
probably the answer is actually six...
