Some opposing scholars have noted that if the above is true, then must equal 42 for no average can be found between the two. Yet, a counterproof has been found! The number 0.999...8 (that is, a number starting with 0.999, ending in 8, with an infinite number of nines in between) means that vanilla 0.999... (alternately 0.999...9) is the average of 0.999...8 and 1! Or alternately, (i.e. 0.999... is 1 minus the reciprocal of infinity).
- 0.999... (or 0.9̅) is a real number equal to 1. The equality 0.999... = 1 is the subject of confusion among mathematics students who find it counterintuitive.
