Re: Use four 0's & any mathematical operators to get 24
Here is your problem, the tricky business between the 10x=9.999999... and then 9x=9. Did you change the value of x?

2. If 0.99999...(infinite) is not equal to one, what's wrong with the following? -
x = 0.99999...(infinite times)
10x = 9.9999.......
=> 9x = 9
=> x = 1
What say?  |
