That is me. Sorry but you'd have to explain to me as others would see it.

Except that 2.999... + 2.999... = 6, not 5. (And yes, it does equal 6 exactly)

I always thought it had to do with 2.49999... = 2.5 (which it does) but still being considered "2" at the same time, or something like that.

Thank you for answering my question. Now I can go and confuse my mathematical friends.

Then I guess the only way to fix it is to lock it. Right? Granted chardish wants to lock it. Or can any mod do that?

FlameFalco · 08-30-2007, 09:30 PM

If you're a computer, it'll cut off all the decimal digits. So it'll be five anyways.

Well, I'm just not a numbers person, so yes. Brain fart on my part to go 2.999... instead of 2.4999... but anyways, the way I had it explained to me is that the phrase "For extremely large values of 2" is ridiculous because "2" only has one value: 2

They don't really get the joke at ThinkGeek either.

**devonin** · 08-31-2007, 12:39 AM

No, but they -do- have a titanium spork. That makes up for it.
