think of (n - 1).9999999… just being an alternate way to represent n that no one actually uses for convenience reasons

I think what you do with the corners is you like. Measure the cube inside. Like if the Interior Space is 7x7x8 then the number of blocks you need for the outside is 7x7x8 + 4 for the corners

i know what to do! it just sucks!

If you cut off 0.33333… anywhere then it’s always less than 1/3. And yet it still equals 1/3 when you have an infinite number of those 3s. I came to terms with this eventually when I first saw this representation. So 0.9999…=1 is no less intuitive than that to me

i would take the lore over hearing a group of 20-somethings autism over .9999999 vs 1

But people feel so different about the two

true

anyway i know no one asked but the real analysis argument that 0.99999… = 1 is that it’s equivalent to saying the infinite sum ((9/10) + (9/100) + … + (9/10^n) + …) converges to 1. and it’s not hard to show you can always get that sum within epsilon of 1 for any epsilon greater than 0

is this 7x10x10. is that greedy measurements. its height is 7 blocks but its also 10 blocks long. if youre measuring it lazy you can say the height is all 7 and the length and bread is 8. Much to think about

No i need this

marissa what’s your lore like these days

I don’t know how caught up you are on the whole, like, being broken up with without explanation and then they start dating your mutual friend the same day thing,

it’s just because 0.9999=1 feels less easy to get away with than 0.333=0.3
