Math fun!

Given:
x = 1
x = y

Equation
xx = xy
xx - yy = xy - yy
(x+y)(x-y) = y(x-y)
x+y = y
1+1 = 1
1 = 0

*******************************
1/3 = 0.333...
multiply both sides by 3
1 = 0.999...

************************

let x = .999...
10x = 9.999...
10x - x = 9.999... - .999...
9x = 9
x = 1

*********************************

since there is no number between 9.999... and 10, we can therefore imply they are the same number
