    99.99999.... continuous=100%
    you learn that later in math(say algebra2)
    here is the simplest proof of it.

    1/9=.11111111...

    9* (1/9)=1
    9* (1/9)=.99999... = 1

    then there is the technical proof
    r=.9999...
    10r=9.999999...

    10r-r=9 there fore 9r=9; r=1 = .99999






    =====
    also, corruptcop swindled me, he only gave me 17 of his 18 creds and thought it would pass for 99.9 it's only 94.4444%

    99.9 is 17.982 creds, aka 18 creds

    I DEMAND SATISFACTION

    yeah we did something like that in math class... just a theory i'm pretty sure... i don't think .999 continuous = 1 i think it equals itself.

    Yup it's still fine with me. I don't mind 12 babies being switched. I'm not much of a perfectionest so I don't need 100% good.

    I prefer 100%, but 99.9% will get it dont for me ;)

    that means I would win 99.9 out of 100 games I play and 999 out of 1000 games.

    I'd say that's impressive enough, on a smaller scale atlesat
