Erm... that was Anthony's version of a valid proof. Just read the rest of the thread(s) and you'll understand.

If my pattern only holds for every number of a finite series only ?

Can you Give me the ( Maximum Possible finite series for 0.9 ) onwards!

and  Can you Give me the ( Maximum Possible finite series for 0.1 ) onwards!

*note*.Since we are discussing the same thing on two threads "0.9999 (recurring)= 1" and " INFINITE 0.9<>1 PROOF" why not to lock one thread and continue on the other?
