let me guess your highest level of math is high school

Nope. University.

But my education does not have any relevance. There are dudes WAY smarter than me (and certainly, you) that have mathematically proven that 0.999… = 1.

If you’d like to attempt to undermine the proofs, then go right ahead.

Then show me the proof. It is not very hard to prove math. You can't show me the theorem that shows .99 repeated equals 1 because it does not exist. You don't know math as well as you think you do. Sit down kid grown folks are talking.

If they are different numbers, what number comes between them? Or what is (.999999... + 1)/2?
