Me and the whole class ended up in a situation where we had to invent a sum whose result was 1 (it was a small step in a bigger problem)

Every single student used 0+1 except me.
I used 0.7 + 0.3

What does it mean?

>What does it mean?

That your dumb. Your intellectually superior classmates found a way using only natural numbers while your pleb brain needed the fucking rationals to answer properly.

Your IQ is probably 10 points below your classmates. At least.

you are probably influenced by programming, where sometimes 0 can be a pain in the ass?

0.999... + ?

[Anonymous No.8270365]

>>8270227
You're all dumb, the answer is 1/2+1/2

[Anonymous No.8270376]

>>8270237
Most constructions of the naturals assume that 0 is the first number and not 1.

I mean, without 0 you have no additive identity and that really fucks up when trying to do algebra with the naturals.

OP here, that was my first option

but I didn't like that they were the same number

[Anonymous No.8270476]

10/3*3/10=0.99999...=1

but this doesnt sum to 1

I mean, I'm not quite sure what OP was supposed to do either, but that's not it.

[Anonymous No.8272012]

Hol' up, guys, I think everyone's ignoring the
>invent
part. This has to be a sum that no one has ever seen before to count; your fancy geometric series won't cut it. I propose:
0.265162962559105821 +
0.462153212528622563 +
-0.132136235632693500 +
0.404820060544965116

Let me know if that looks familiar to anyone.

Nigger, not having 0 in the naturals makes no fucking sense. That's why we have Z+, fucker.

I hate people like you, making things inconsistent for no goddamn reason. Kill yourself!
