infinities work fine

You can't subtract .9999999.... logically. That assumes infinity has an end.

Sure you can

9.99etc = 9 + .99etc
0.99etc = 0 + .99etc

9 - 0 = 9
.99etc - .99etc = 0

9 + 0 = 9

Re: infinities work fine

Since when is etc a number?

Abbreviation for et cetera, that's Latin for "&shit"

Also, what kind of pie?

write out the whole number for me

Which one, 10 or 1?
