Do you agree or do you want to rot in maths hell?

.999 = 1
1 = 1
1 = 1 AND .999
Who are you to decide which answer is correct and which is incorrect? God is the only being allowed to say what is right and wrong.
Wikipedia says option 1, but my brain says option 2.

You said horribly. It's more like:

1/3 = 3.333r

1/3 * 3 = 1

3.333r * 3 = 1

MORE SPLITTED RANKINGS!

I think this is the part of the thread where you and cody start to fight. SLEX joins cody, lorez joins laser. pwn is neutral, iccy removes a few posts, and it'll derail after 2 pages. Baby eater types random stuff inbetween the other posts, and lige shows his strange avatar since it's actually more interesting than what he usually posts :(

Round 1
Baby Eater has decided to go out and eat.
FluFFey2 would rather do math.
ViRUS likes starting things.
Twelve is over there azning someone.
Laserrobotics is conspicuously absent.

Round 1 goes to ViRUS!
