About that 1/9 strategy, how can you prove that 1/9 is 0.111... ? You can't use something that has no proof to prove something else of a similar nature like that.

oh, yeah, proof:

there exists no number between .999... and 1, therefore .999... = 1. I don't remember the name of the theorem or law or whatever that says that, but it exists.
I believe, using the ... strategy instead of the other dot thing, the number between .999... and 1 is 0.0...01.

Yay?
