It is true, it's based on limits, I'll explain it sometime if you wish.

That may be the limit of 1.999999... as the number of 9's approaches infinity, but even at infinity I don't think of it as equalling 2. ( Yes that was an example of Proof type 27 :P ) |
Are you sure it wasn't:
33: Proof by avoidance: Limit of proof by postponement as it approaches infinity
Also, I seem to have a few serious no votes here on the explaination, I'm afraid it wouldn't be very nice to explain it anyways....
...but then again :twisted: ...
