(So sorry some of this didn't get presented properly...!)
I want to do something different today from our usual discussions, so I am going to make a video on why .999...=1 as a few people continually ask me why this is true. It has been a while since I have tackled this seemingly strange mathematical fact so if you are more mathematically inclined than me (which is pretty much everyone) then come on in and lets give it a go. And to just piss off Caperunderscore26 who thinks this is wrong, and he claims to be an engineer!
