      That’s more convoluted than the 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 thing.

      3/3 = 0.99999…

      3/3 = 1

      If somebody still wants to argue after that, don’t bother.

        Nah that explanation is basically using an assumption to prove itself. You need to first prove that 1/3 does in fact equal .3333… which can be done using the ‘convoluted’ but not so convoluted proof
