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.

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.

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 +
