...and beat them if you can!

That was one of the funniest things I have ever seen I have to admit, I have answered questions like that many a time on homework assignments (I hate homework...never spent any time on it)~

I have hated math ever since I was introduced to:

X=.999etc.
10X=9.999etc.
9X=9
X=1
1=.999etc

lol, that was great, thanks for the link.

If you're not too clever with the conventional techniques of simple mathematics, there is another way to work out the answers !!

I can't figure out how it works, but it sure does (even though it gets messy with big numbers).
