Division by 3 does not exist

Think about it... how can you have 3 equal parts of an object? The decimate representation is impossible and one side always has to be bigger then the other. This is also why there is no such thing as 360 equal degrees in a circle as one degree has to be off by a little bit... There are no 360 numbers that will add up to 1 whole object either.

I suppose if everyone accepted that 0.999...9 and 1.000...0 are NOT the same number then we would all be fine. This bullshit is why we can't invent anything that has a lesser chance of fucking up. Instead of this, "Oh it's pretty close, we'll call it 1 even though it isn't," is fucking retarded. Now, lets prove this.

.999 x 500 = 499.5
1    x 500 = 500.0

Oh snap!
