That's a good one! Might replace my current favorite which is: Let x = 0.99... Then 10*x = 9.99... And if we subtract x from both sides, we get: 10x - x = 9

That's a good one! Might replace my current favorite which is:
Let x = 0.99...
Then 10*x = 9.99...
And if we subtract x from both sides, we get:
10x - x = 9.99... - x
And since we already defined x=0.99... when we subtract it from 9.99..., we get
9x = 9
So we can finally divide both sides by 9:
x = 1
